"It is justified to actualize addition arena out of the Upper East Arena to beset the six constituencies in the Bawku area.

The acreage admeasurement is commensurable to that of the North East. Economically, Bawku is a above trading and bartering center. It meets all three criteria.
There are, however, built-in accoutrement that charge be addressed. A address needs to be submitted to the president, who will again authorize a agency of inquiry.
