Districts must generate revenue.
The situation is worse in Akyem districts in the Eastern Region which make up more than half the population of the region.
Sunyani is in another region.
Below is the mineral production in 1967:
Gold (from Ashanti and Western Regions) --- 724,134 oz
Diamond (from the Akyem in the Eastern Region) --- 2,633,527 ct
Bauxite (from the Western Region) --- 333,458 mt
Manganese (from the Western Region) --- 596,572 mt
(Source mining policy of Ghana)
Value today:
Gold --- $1400 per oz
Diamond --- from $1500 to $150,000 per carat (depending on the quality)
Bauxite --- $150 per mt
Manganese --- $450 per tonne
Even though today diamond production from Akyem has stopped temporarily Akyem districts must be given their fair share of projects. Discrimination against Akyems districts has been going on for at least the last forty years. A visit to the Akyem districts would indicate the poor state of districts: bad roads, poor infrastructure. The state of the districts is not reflective of the revenue they have contributed over the last 100 years.
People do not know that Akyems and Ashantis are two different groups of people but they are all Akans and existed as two different states about 150 years ago. They are all Akans and have some things in common.

We people of syi are responsible for this due to the fact that syi is the only place in Gh where we don't hold leaders accountable to their responsibilities. We vote and after voting we turn blind eye and deaf ears to whom we'v vested the power to. Syi is the only place where MP's sleep 4 yrs and wakes up the next to be voted again with no accountability. We should let the honorable know we don't vote for parties but for development. We shouldn't continue giving away our franchise in making another senior minister without any senior development. Plz NO political strings attached.
