    [contextly_sidebar id=”w7iIhF8C9IquY68D95MSDEwE0cilvsH2″]The Commission has been directed by the President to produce a report on its work, and present recommendations which will subsequently be handed over to the Electoral Commission (EC) for the\u00a0organization of a referendum.<\/p>\n

    This will be done in the various regions out of which the new ones will be carved out.<\/p>\n

    The Commission,\u00a0is expected to tour the Volta, Western, Northern and the Brong Ahafo Regions, to solicit the views of residents on the creation of the new regions.<\/p>\n

    Speaking at the inauguration of the Commission, President Akufo-Addo said the move was in response to calls<\/strong><\/span><\/a> from citizens in these regions for decentralization\u00a0to promote development.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt has become clear to me that, one of the most fundamental demands of our people is to live in a thriving economy which provides opportunities for all. The desire has found expression in several forms. One such form is for the re-organisation of our regional governance structure to enable government come closer to the people and thereby facilitate the rapid development of our nation and its economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

    The president also expressed optimism that the process when completed, will spur growth in the affected regions.<\/p>\n
