Parliament is yet to approve the budget for the purchase of the drones which would be used for the supply of blood and other medical supplies.

Ghanaians believe the health sector should rather be equipped with the money rather than investing it in the drones

3. Creation of new regions:

The creation of new regions is not really needed considering the budget involved and the lissues regarding boundary demarcations, the country would be better off without the creation of new regions.

4. Digital Address System:

5. 110 Ministers:
