The Minority in Parliament has pushed back against recent remarks made by Professor Kwamena Ahwoi, former Minister for Local Government, describing aspects of his submission on Ghana’s decentralisation process as inaccurate and misleading.
Prof Ahwoi, a long-standing advocate for decentralisation, had argued at the National Dialogue on Decentralisation and Responsive Governance that the creation of new districts and regions in recent years amounted to an “overreach” and was counterproductive to effective local governance.
