James Kwabena Bomfeh has replied Ex-President over his promise to create a new region during his visit to the Bawku Naba's palace in the Upper East Region. John Mahama told the people that he will ensure the creation of a new region for the Bawku area named Kusaug Region if elected President again. He said, "I discussed something with him. Your Member of Parliament, I'm aware he has written a letter to the Speaker requesting that another region should be created out of the Upper East Region to cover the six constituencies in the Bawku area. "Bawku Naba raised it with me, and I told him in principle I think it's a good idea for two reasons. One, for the reason of bringing government closer to the people. "That's the principal reason for which we create new regions and new districts.
