Voters In The December 27th Referendum Must Reject The Creation Of More Regions - For It Is Not In The National Interest

Are those in Ghana, who posit that Chiefs will be the only beneficiaries of the creation of new regions, being fair, in making that assumption? Many of those who back the creation of new regions claim that it will fasten the pace of development in the newly-created regions.  Alas, that will not happen in a byzantine system such as ours. It will only end up  adding another layer of unaccountable  high-level thieves to the machinery of state -  who will seize every opportunity that comes their way to rob Mother Ghana. Hmmmm, Oman Ghana - eyeasem o. Asem kesie ebeba debi ankasa.

The question is: Are those who insist that  the creation of new regions is a classic example of  the duplicity of our nation's vampire-elites, right, in saying so? Such Ghanaians say that when it suits them, our ruling elites claim that they want value for money in the spending of taxpayers' money - yet think nothing of wasting taxpayers' money to satisfy the greedy ambitions of certain Chiefs in Ghana: who for tribal-supremacist reasons want to have their own Regional Houses of Chiefs, and are using the creation of new regions as the perfect legal cover, to make that possible.

In a nation with limited resources, wise leaders should always prioritise the spending of taxpayers' money.The priority for our country, in as far as resolving the problem of underdevelopment at the grassroots-level is concerned,  cannot be  the creation of new Regional Houses of Chiefs - which is the hidden agenda of the beneficiaries of inherited privilege in Ghana. The truth of the matter, is that underdevelopment at the grassroots-level, occurs, simply because the chief executives and members of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) fail to respond to the actual needs of local people.

If the chief executives, and members, of the MMDAs  are elected, they will definitely focus on responding to the needs of local people at all material times, and make that the raison d'ĂȘtre of their administrations. Ordinary people must reject the abominable idea of consenting to the spending of hapless taxpayers' money to  create yet more regions and new Regional Houses of Chiefs - instead of spending that money to organise a referendum to make grassroots-level democracy possible: by electing the chief executives and members of MMDAs. Voters in the areas of our country where the December 27th referendum will be held must be bold and reject the creation of more regions by voting no - for it is not in their nation's interest.  Full stop. Case closed. Haaba.
