Western Region Chiefs accuse gov't of neglect.

The Western Region's House of Chiefs is speaking out against the Akufo-Addo administration, saying they've been neglected for the past eight years. The chiefs are frustrated about the decline in cocoa production, abandoned road projects, and the destruction caused by illegal mining. They're also unhappy about the lack of support for fishing and the poor state of their roads .

The chiefs expressed their concerns to John Mahama, the NDC flagbearer, during his campaign tour in the area. They're wondering why a region that contributes significantly to the country's resources, including oil and gold, has been neglected for so long.

The queen mothers are also demanding their fair share of national resources and urging Mahama to remember them if he comes into power. They're tired of being neglected and want to see some positive change in their region.
