New Regions Report Out (FULL REPORT ATTACHED)

The report of the Justice Stephen Alan Brobbey Commission of Inquiry that recommended the creation of six new regions has finally been published.

It would be recalled that President Akufo-Addo recently ordered the Ministry of Information to publish the report to promote transparency and accountability.

President Akufo-Addo, in an instruction note to the Ministry of Information, said that “the dictates of good governance and transparency in the public space of a functioning democracy should lead me to authorize, prior to the planned referendum by the Electoral Commission on 27th December 2018, the publication of the report of the Commission of Inquiry into the Creation of New Regions.”

The Ministry of Information, in accordance with the President’s directive, published the 428-page report in full on the government online portal www.ghana.gov.gh, as well as its social media handles.

The report was duly signed by Justice Brobbey and eight other commissioners namely, Dr. Grace Bediako, Maulvi Mohammed Bin-Salih, Prof. Kwasi Kwafo Adarkwa, Gladys Tetteh, Robert Ajene, Dr. David Wellington Essaw, Prof. George Owusu, Josephine Hughes and Jacob Saah, who was the Secretary.
