Creation Of Regions Vrs Division Of Tribes
28.12.2018 LISTEN

The government has seen the creation of regions is the best option for the development of this nation. Now the question is how many Metropolitans, Minicepals and District Assemblies have been created for such regions, and how many funds have been raised so far to support such enclaves to mean that the government is really eager to share the developmental project and make well strategic planning and to ensure that not as to just throw the dust into the eyes of the good people of this country but really means putting the country first at all cost, as they normally propagating in this country.

Now let's look at the other side of the coin, Ghana is a country that believes in traditional and cultural activities such as tribalism, and code of ethics, norms and many more.

In government trying to create these regions which proper consultation have gone through and how convenience has the traditional men have suggested to the government before the government proceeded in creating these regions.

Sometimes lets just not based on our political policy and personal interests to do something to regret aftermath of what we have spent a lot of time and funds to do because Ghana is a country that has to take politics on everything which I can state emphatically that we eat and drink politics which sometimes goes against our developmental policies thus we don't know the difference between state interests and personal interest as a country.

Moreover newly to be considered regions has different Tribes and traditional leaders and rulers and traditional landowners, what are the deepest consensus that has gone through with the other Tribes among their traditional landowners and rulers before going ahead to create the regions, though some may have their views also but when we want to talk of development then Ashanti region shouldn't have left out and Eastern region because at the end is one nation, if we really mean to develop this country because Ashanti region has more land and district more than some of the newly to be considered regions but still in touch, how do we convince that we really mean what we talk of as a nation where we pick and choose when it comes to national cake as when and what do we mean by sharing national cake equitably...
