It is not population alone that is considered in creating a region. Culture, tradition and geography also count in creating a region. Sometimes breaking a region is beneficial, especially because of geographical reasons, but sometimes it is a mess.
Look at all the proposed regions to be created, you see some strand of language, culture and traditional differences existing in all. On the contrary, in the case of Ashanti Region for instance you cannot possibly think of breaking it into two for any benefit. Breaking Ashanti would not bring any good to anybody, and also the people there are not asking for it anyway. In the rest of those regions to be created the people there specifically ask for their regions. Take Brong Ahafo where the Ahafo people traditionally are linked to Ashanti. They therefore wish to detach from Brong for their autonomy. Already the region is large enough and does not make for effective administration. Look at Volta region where we have Akans concentrated in one part of the region. Language differences does not help in the administration and mutual coexistence. However, you cannot say the same about the Ashanti region where the people have the same language and the land area also is too small for two regions.
So culture counts as much as the geography and other considerations, if we want to be honest to ourselves.

The Asante region has already been split into 2. This was in 1959 when the Brong-Ahafo region was created by Nkrumah
No one in Asante wants to split the region in 2. There must be a groundswell of support for a new region before it can be split into 2. These are the laws that govern region creation. Then there must be a referendum by the people who want a new region
The Akan s in the northern part of Volta have been agitating for a new region for decades. Recently, the northern part of Western region has been doing the same.
If Asante is to be affected at all it will be through the Ahafo part of B/A agitating to re-join Asante

It is very bad to create a ministry just for creating new regions,which departments will fall under these ministries,Monitoring and Evaluation,what is that,monitor who,evaluate who,what kind of foolishness is that?
Looking at the large number of people appointed outside parliament to head key positions shows most NPP MPs are useless,they are not qualified people which means NPP will have to stop the delegate electoral process to elect people who will not pay bribe to enter parliament,quality is better than quantity,the large quantity they have in parliament is just chaff.

The Asante Region was divided by Nkrumah in 1959. It was the first region in Ghana to be divided into 2 separate regions. This was how the Brong-Ahafo region was created.
I hope this news helps you in your evaluation of th ...

misinformed pseudo intellectual, the creation of BA region saved Ghana
The change is dividing of regions,not the economy hmmmmmm. Ghana shalom peace
Why create more regions? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
good question. i wish you'll take the time to find the answer to it and argue better the next time.
what's your answer
For exemple if ashante divide ,it may help it gain double national revenue for développement than standing alone
Why Brong Ahafo region?
I don't think there is the need to create or divide or split the people of Brong Ahafo region on the altar of politics.
The Ashanti region is quite big and if any region needs to be created within t ...

The Asante region has already been split into 2. This was in 1959 when the Brong-Ahafo region was created by Nkrumah
No one in Asante wants to split the region in 2. There must be a groundswell of support for a new region ...

The Akans in the Volta Region are not in the north of the region. They're a bit in the middle of the region. Those in the north are not Akans.
the secret agenda
The Ashanti region has not asked for any unlike western. All the regions which might be split are regions which are agitating for split. Besides the Ashanti region is made up of only one tribe with common language unlike regi ...

Sure. But I don't think a region should be split because of mix tribe.
What a hypocricy, you said there is no need separating power ministry from energy ministries but you saw it necessary creating sanitation separating water resources and housing to land and sanitation.
projected government size 100-120!!!! power sweet,talk is cheap indeed.......=(25+10)*2deputy +(25+10)=105
what a intelligent ministers designates
Brong Region should be renamed Tano Region and Ahafo can be renamed Tano South Region. This will suit those Regions and one of these towns can be choose as Regional Capital. Kukuom ,Goaso, Bechem or Kenyasi.
Go and create regions out of Ashante and Eastern regions and leave Volta Region out of childish politics. We the people of the Volta region do not need your region and don't want to be part of your region creation.
Eastern region was officially split into 2 when Greater Accra region was created out of it by the PNDC. Before that Accra was part of the Eastern region
In 1959 Nkrumah split Asante region into 2 thus creating Brong-Ahafo ...

Who told you we don't need a new region out the Volta Region? Creation of the Oti Region has been in the works since Rawlings' era. Next time please speak for yourself.

The Asante region was divided in 2 by Kwame Nkrumah. This is where the Brong-Ahafo region comes from.
NOW GHANA WILL KNOW WHY THIS AKUFFO DOPE HEAD WAS DESPERATE TO BECOME THE PRESIDENT. EVIL INTENTIONS IN THAT COCONUT HEAD OF HIS.
All the proposed regions will be created surely because the people there asked for it. It has been on the drawing board for a long time.
I don't think Akuffo Addo is serious to think about Ghanaians. Why is he worried about dividing families instead of putting them together. Ashanti region should rather be divided because of its huge size with a dense popu ...

The Asante region was split into 2 in 1959 to create Brong-Ahafo region
some commentators here are comedians by all standards, how can u write such a funny but foolish comment about the president
dumbest idea of the year!!!!!!
WE WANT A LEAN GOVERNMENT, PLEASE.
WE WANT YOU AND YOUR GOVERNMENT TO OBSERVE "FISCAL DISCIPLINE".
Creating extra region should be through a referendum pls Mr president.
What happens to the ministry after creation of the regions?
This is a wrong move by the president. I would advice that instead of creating small regions which will in the long run be expensive, he must consider creating a Federal System.
Ghana is long overdue for federation. This wi ...

Creat 20 more regions.As if Ghana is more hungry for regions.More important things to tackle.
Eastern corridor Region in Northern Region. I doubt this can't be possible. For peace to prevail in Northern Region i suggest it should be divided into three.

Should creation of 4 regions leads creation of a whole
ministry? Couldn't it have been placed under Ministry for Local Government and Rural Development?
We want best for Ghana.
Long Live Ghana.

Ahafo part of the Brong Ahafo is even willing to rejoin Ashanti .
Here we go again. Instead of the anti-tribal solid nation-building and cohesion that Nkrumah bequeathed us, its back to the shameful "matemeho" politics of tribalist division and federalism for a small country like Ghana. And ...

We don't even need regions on top of districts. We need just districts to function efficiently. Districts without region will flatten policy implementation and hasten development
GOOD POINT, THESE FLUNKIES WANT TO SCATTER OUR LAND WITH THEIR FUNKY BOOK LONG PLANS THAT WONT WORK.

Why not Ashanti South and Ashanti North respectively? This is politically motivated just to separate and divide same people in one particular region
WHAT ABOUT THE ASHANTI AKIM OUT OF ASHANTI?
Devide Ashanti and see what their chief will do you
is creating additional regions development plan?
That creating of additional regions need to vote for all Ghanaian on that particuler regions, it don't have to be president own power but the people of the region.
Then Ashanti need to creatE another region too, Akufo Addo wonted to week those 'powerful region in Ghana. the people don't have to accept it.
we like to have akufo addo men without muslims real muslim like mahama did. so good
Hmmm I'm not surprised at all because nana promised to make history at least creating four new regions is a history if he failed his numerous promises
hey,nana,we in volta region did not want to any region.we want our trans volta togoland back.we want independence fron ghana.the 50 years agreement, we sign with ghana is over.free republic of trans volta togoland.
