    you see , too much knowledge can bring confusing.the English language is not our mother tongue so academicians sometimes find it difficult to interpret our own laws which have been written in someone's language

    TRIBALIZATION OF GHANA

  • Tibaa 7 years ago

    We are clamoring for a sub-continental unity, but we continue to divide our country along regional, and in most cases, tribal lines. Why create new regions, and for what purpose? If we are to apply tribal fault lines as ratio ...

    I don't think there is a need for this. There are too many ministers in Ghana. All of them are living luxurious life whilst the ordinary Ghanaian suffers. Why don't you use those money on basic amenities .

  • serwaa aka Mrs Jasikan 7 years ago

    Thank you. Im happy there might be legal challenges. Nana should forget about this regional split and concentrate on something productive. We don't need additional regions

  • ChrisC 7 years ago

    Prof. Stephen Kwaku Asare does not know what he is talking about. The word 'affected' is the important item here by law and within the affected area which is the new region to be created you can get more than 50% to vote and ...

    The prof said that the creation of a new region goes to affect the entire nation and not only the particular region in question so if that is the case the supreme court must give clear interpretation to that part of the const ...

    Change is always associated with problems, the reason why we can not develop ourselves and our Nation is the fear of the unknown. The fear of the unknown causes stagnation, lack of progress etc. Let's try something new.
