    I am very happy Ghana has seen the need to create Monitoring and Evaluation Ministry. This will help to ensure value for money and efficient operations of all Ministry, Agencies and Departments. Congrats Mr President

  • Socrates 7 years ago

    Ken. Agyapong is waiting for his turn in cocaine ministries.

  • VICENT JASIKAN 7 years ago

    Socrates, Ken Agyapong is paying more than fifty peoples a month, and your paymaster Mahama the thief, bought a Jet with taxpayers monies. How many ghanaians benefit from his Jet?

  • VICENT JASIKAN 7 years ago

    Interesting, this 16 years is playing some can of a way against Lordina about his son and Mahama Period.

    THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT FOR THE SPLIT OF BA, GOD BLESS YOU.

  • VICENT JASIKAN 7 years ago

    Ashanti have Ofinso North and South with one Traditional Council, and Ahafo was once originated from Ashanti Region by Dr Nkruma. What is wrong for the Prez to separate regions? How can someone pay from Bibiani to Takoradi?

    Akufo's change is here

  • SD 7 years ago

    You want to divide western, eastern, northern and volta regions, what about Ashanti which happens to be the most populous region in the country ? Want to weaken the others?

  • Bino 7 years ago

    He is not acting in good faith. The man came with rather different intentions.

  • Yaw 7 years ago

    It is not population alone that is considered in creating a region. Culture, tradition and geography also count in creating a region. Sometimes breaking a region is beneficial, especially because of geographical reasons, but ...

    Akufo and his tribal gang

  • Jakut 7 years ago

    but population is major factor

  • Gyambibi 7 years ago

    If i am not mistaken wasn't Ahafo originally part of Ashanti? Did Nkrumah intend to weaken Ashanti when he split Ahafo from Ashanti?

  • serwaa aka Mrs Jasikan 7 years ago

    Yes that was his intention. To make Ashanti landlocked so that we won't find it easy seceding (break away) from now Ghana. Asantes really wanted to be out of gold coast at the time

  • Nana 7 years ago

    May I know how old you are? Bring and Ahafo were not together until Kwame Nkrumah divided them for political gains.
    Please go back and ask any elderly person.
    Nana has paved the way for a good governance.

    Ashanti is a state with one language and one superior king over all the kings in that region ,if you want to know.

    The Asante Region was divided by Nkrumah in 1959. It was the first region in Ghana to be divided into 2 separate regions. This was how the Brong-Ahafo region was created.

    Why create more regions? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

  • the New Ghanain 7 years ago

    good question. i wish you'll take the time to find the answer to it and argue better the next time.

  • Zoobie-Zoobie 7 years ago

    what's your answer

  • Kaykai 7 years ago

    For exemple if ashante divide ,it may help it gain double national revenue for développement than standing alone

  • OYOKOBA RED/BLACK 7 years ago

    Why Brong Ahafo region?
    I don't think there is the need to create or divide or split the people of Brong Ahafo region on the altar of politics.
    The Ashanti region is quite big and if any region needs to be created within t ...

    The Asante region has already been split into 2. This was in 1959 when the Brong-Ahafo region was created by Nkrumah

    No one in Asante wants to split the region in 2. There must be a groundswell of support for a new region ...

    The Akans in the Volta Region are not in the north of the region. They're a bit in the middle of the region. Those in the north are not Akans.

    Sure. But I don't think a region should be split because of mix tribe.

  • salam 7 years ago

    What a hypocricy, you said there is no need separating power ministry from energy ministries but you saw it necessary creating sanitation separating water resources and housing to land and sanitation.

  • shalom 7 years ago

    what a intelligent ministers designates

  • RR Baiden 7 years ago

    Brong Region should be renamed Tano Region and Ahafo can be renamed Tano South Region. This will suit those Regions and one of these towns can be choose as Regional Capital. Kukuom ,Goaso, Bechem or Kenyasi.

  • naa 7 years ago

    Go and create regions out of Ashante and Eastern regions and leave Volta Region out of childish politics. We the people of the Volta region do not need your region and don't want to be part of your region creation.

  • SENDERO 7 years ago

    Eastern region was officially split into 2 when Greater Accra region was created out of it by the PNDC. Before that Accra was part of the Eastern region

    All the proposed regions will be created surely because the people there asked for it. It has been on the drawing board for a long time.

  • Rayo 7 years ago

    I don't think Akuffo Addo is serious to think about Ghanaians. Why is he worried about dividing families instead of putting them together. Ashanti region should rather be divided because of its huge size with a dense popu ...
