Government has laid a Legislative Instrument (LI) in Parliament for the creation of five new district and municipal assemblies.
A Deputy Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Mr Augustine Collins Ntim, laid the LI in Parliament yesterday.
The proposed district and municipal assemblies are Korle-Klottey Municipal Assembly and Ayawaso Central Municipal Assembly which have been carved out from the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) in the Greater Accra Region, and North-East Gonja District Assembly created from the East Gonja Municipal Assembly in the Northern Region.
The rest are Achiase District Assembly carved out from the Birim South District Assembly in the Eastern Region, and Anloga District Assembly created from the Keta Municipal Assembly.
There are currently 254 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) and the creation of the five MMDAs will bring the number to 259.

Stop creating and the concentrate on the few once. I want to suggest these The creating of new constituency should be stop. Ex-gratia should be given once . There should be qualification for somebody to contest for members of parliament for they are law makers. GOVERNMENT should combine the MCE's and the rep from chiefs to develop the area. Fuel and others given to members in gov. should be stop. The police and national security should be independent. If there can be customary marriage class A and B ,where Class A is one husband one wife and Class B the polygamous.
