What do you get insulting people with diverse ideas or views? If you would allow me, I'll advise you and others to stop using abusive words even if you don't agree with the person.

Which part of GHANA do we have ASAWASE CONSTITUENCY? Do you expect MUNTACKA to be bearing KOFI POKU before knowing he is from the ASHANTI region? If so, then laws must allow only people from a particular ethnic group in every region to contest as an MP. We are building a country and not a tribe.

Not every region will get 2 or more, check it. Western north too had one. At least we have representation from all the regions and it's good.

For your information, Mahama actually increased his votes in Asante this time around and can never be said to have been voted against sir. NDC's fundamental problem in Asante indeed, lies in this glaring display of hatred as it has been manifestly expressed by the ministerial selection by the president so far sir.

Increased votes my ass. WHO WON ASANTE REGION? You want to be given advantage over the regions who actually voted for the president. Elections, and who you voted for has consequences.

IF MY NAME IS BONSU AND HAS LIVED ALL MY LIFE IN TAMALE, BECOMES POPULAR IN TAMALE AND RISE TO BECOME MP IN TAMALE DOES NOT MEAN I AM A NORTHERNER. SO MUNTAKA MUBARAK PAMPAS IS NOT FROM ASHANTI.

Why Northern and Volta have 3 cabinet ministers and some regions have none and some with one ? . Mr President, would you limit Volta and Northern in particular when it comes to appointing deputies, please?

It is about all Ghanaians in a much equitable way seeking to explore the talents of all Ghanaians and ensuring equitable regional balance. Asante is the largest region in terms of Constituency distribution and to think that no native Asante is selected is simply an expression of innate tribal hatred on the part of selector and surely not for the lack of competency. In any case, who is really new in this list, these are the very people who mahama used in his previous administration to only supervise chaos, devastating economic downturn and double whammy of hunger and protracted Dumsor in his previous government so it is important to guide agaisnt over expectation sir.

Population of the region needs to be considered too. Ashanti is bigger than all the 5 regions combined but yet has only 1. As for Muntaka... it will be hard. Isn't it this same dud who had the khebab scandal??

For me, all that matters most is that they are all Ghanaians. So let's pray that God gives them the strength and wisdom to help develop Ghana.

There are two Asantes among the cabinets which are Eric Opoku from Ahafo and Gilbert in Addison to Hon. Muntaka because he's an Asante by birth. Muntaka were among the very first person to make donation when Otumfuo was soliciting for funds for KATH renovation,tell me how many Asante politicians donated to help because they have aligned themselves with the Akyem NPP party. Majority of the Asante Npp MP's are enemies to the Asante tribe if you don't know, Muntaka is more Asante than Wontumi,Kyei Mensah Bonus,Simon Osei Mensah, K.T. Hammond and others who were working for the previous Akyem NPP party.
