At a press conference on Wednesday, the members who had earlier supported calls for his dismissal said they are demanding a positive replacement for the KMA boss.
They indicated that they are considering petitioning the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to investigate him.

Citing specific examples, Maxwell Ofosu Boakye, Assembly Member for Abusuakruwa electoral area said the former KMA boss raised a certificate for the Kumasi Academy Hall which has been built up to the lintel level and even went ahead to effect payment instead of waiting for it to be completed.
He added that the Assembly’s books need to be balanced immediately.
The Chief Executive of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), Kojo Bonsu resigned following calls for his removal by the Asanteman Council.
The Council called on President Mahama to remove him over his decision to unilaterally remove Amoamanhene, Nana Agyenim Boateng from the Kejetia Market project board without informing the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
Kojo Bonsu has faced stiff opposition from some residents and traders of the city for his handling of some developmental projects in the area including the redevelopment of the Kejetia transport terminal and market.
