Management of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) says it has set up a committee to investigate the assault of a hawker by a worker under the Community Protection Agency module under the Youth Employment Agency (YEA).
The personnel has been identified as Bright Agyei.
The incident was captured in a video that has gone viral, where the woman was seen rolling on the floor after she was allegedly hit by the KMA officer.
