The paramount chief for the Wassa Amenfi Traditional Area, Tetrete Okuamoah Sekyim II has endorsed the proposals to\u00a0split the Western Region.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking at the third public consultative exercise held by the nine-member Commission of Enquiry at Wassa Akropong in the Wassa Amenfi East District, Tetrete Okuamoah Sekyim II explained that\u00a0the move will fast-track the region\u2019s development.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”2iTDtbWNMS60WpTXuUbbwoGqh8GTaquW”]\u201cIt\u2019s been sixty years since Ghana attained independence b<\/span>ut our roads, particularly in Wassa Amenfi have been very bad\u2026If I want to travel to my own hometown Wassa Manpong, I have to go through Ayenfuri, and then continue to Diaso. Meanwhile, there is a 30-minute route that is in a deplorable state so today, I have had to travel 2 hours before I can travel the same distance I could have done within 30 minutes\u201d. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Okuamoah Sekyim II further noted that \u201cit has also been difficult getting support from the central government over the years to our district so if the government says it wants to split this region so it can extend support to us effectively, I think it is a good call and we must all support it\u201d.<\/p>\n

Other residents and stakeholders who had come from the Amenfi West and Central Districts also threw their weight behind the creation of another region from the Western Region.<\/p>\n

\u201cI work at the district education office at Asankragua but I can also agree to the split of the region because of the difficulty it is to exchange correspondence from the north with the south. The split could fast-track development and many hours will not be wasted just on travelling. I fully support the split,\u201d one resident said.<\/span><\/p>\n

There were others who despite agreeing that the region be split, did not want the capital situated in the Sefwi part of the region. <\/span><\/p>\n

Others also felt the move will have traditional implications on the power and territories of Wassa Amenfi Traditional area, while some\u00a0called for the three Amenfi Districts to be added to the Southern part of the region.<\/span><\/p>\n
