    People in the Kassena Nankana District” don't have fingers for the machines to capture. Therefore, the number of FOs went up by 62%. The People in the region should protest against Gyan's absurdity.

  • Kobby 10 years ago

    Please 62, and not 62%

  • Nana Sarpong 10 years ago

    I agree, such an affront to the citizens of that locality

  • kris 10 years ago

    Please get your facts right. The people from Kassena Nankana district were registered later and the number of FOs increased by 62 people. Afari Gyan did not mean that most people over there fall within the category of FO.

  • Kennedy 10 years ago

    Did you read the article or you can not comprehend when you read?
    this what it said below

    “Even one region with the lowest number of FOs will be more than 3000”, Dr. Afari-Gyan asserted.
