if this is granted then I think other regions will also make similar demands which will affect the Ghanaian economy as a whole.

I agree with the chieves on this one.But the money shouldn't be given to them to manage.It ahould rather be channeled to infrastructure
improvements region wide.This arrangement should also go as far as the gold and cocoa sector.We can't keep on having a situation where Western and Ashanti region contribute the bulk of Ghanas GDP and yet all the development is in Accra.We need to spread the national wealth and decentralize from Accra

HOW CAN WE ALLOW 10% OF NATIONAL REVENUE BE GIVEN TO ONE REGION IN THE COUNTRY? THE INDUSTRY BELONGS TO THE ENTIRE NATION. AT A TIME WHEN B/A WAS PRODUCING THE BULCK OF GHANA'S COCOA EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY SAID WITH PRIDE; "OUR COCOA" NOW THE OIL IS FOR WESTERN REGION SO THEY MUST HAVE 10%. THESE CHIEFS ARE TOO CORRUPT. THAT INSTITUTION MUST BE ABOLISHED.

Pls learn to read and stop trying to take a tribalistic angle to things.i could also say "Do you think of Ashanti region which is not as developed as Accra region but contributes $14 billion to Ghanas GDP?"All I'm saying is that a little bit more money should be chanelled to these 2 regions so that they can be at par with Accra region atleast.If 10% goes to western region ,the rest can share 90%

Parliament was right when they soundly refused to endorse this request. It is a dangerous proposition. But it remains to be seen if spineless Mahama will yield to this request. After all it appears the squeaking wheels get the most attention is the order of the day. What else motivated the chiefs of Otuam to go on demonstration?

The idea of the Western Regional Chiefs desiring for the 10% of the oil revenue for development was first mooted by President Mahama himself the candidate Mahama in his 2008 campaign promises. No any Westner had that idea until he brought it on board. Looking at the developmental level in the region, then it behooves on the NDC government to fulfil its promise. Look at the Tarkwa-Bogosu-Kumasi road. I don't blame anyone for the woes of the region than the late Dr Kwame Nkrumah. Even in his own hometown - Nsauem on the Takoradi-Tarkwa stretch of the highway, what development did he do there? Talk of the regional capital - removal of the harbour to Tema. Now you want a non-westner to develop your region with the scarce resource of the nation. You lie bad

Ashanti region will demand 10% of gold revenues from Obuasi and 10% of any produce from the region, other regions will follow suit. Probably we should be a federation! That was a very dumb promise by our nitwit president.
