  The Bank of Ghana (BOG) has no Eastern Regional headoffice. The BOG must ask for land from the King of Akyem (Okyehene) to construct this building. I don´t believe that the BOG has accurate data of the economic activity in the at least 12 Akyem districts which make up more than half the population on the region. The GDP and GNI of these Akyem districts are very high. They stem from:
  
  Gold mining
  Diamond mining
  Cocoa
  Oil Palm (the largest in West Africa)
  Timber
  Software development
  etc
  
  The money supply and capital in the at least 12 Akyem districts are wholly inadequate. BOG must remove impediments to the setting up of rural banks in these districts and encourage ADB and GCB to open branches in these districts.
  
  The government must further ensure that wholly owned Ghanaian banks, including rural banks, get at least 80% of the banking revenue.

  Yes the farmer cannot educate his children because the CMB/COCOBOD scholarships should go to the children of cocoa farmers period. Instead,they are ruled by politics and the scholarships are awarded to children who have never seen a cocoa tree/plant in thier life and whose parents are not cocoa farmers. And then you the NDC and your henchmen turn around and call the cocoa farmer "kookooase ni kuraseni" And now you are concerned about yield and production. The cocoa farmer has been cheated for years and you still keep robbing them.
