“…the police came there, press was there not to cover the event but to be participants. Groups including those who make bread, GPRTU; everyone was there yesterday, at least with 6 to 10 representatives and we all sat at tables as JM moved from one table to another listening to peoples concerns and we got to see the things going on in country, Sefwi and the Western-North; and it was very interesting” he said
According to the former minister in charge of the then Western Region, although the team expected just about 250 people to be in attendance from the 25 groups invited, to yesterday’s meeting, the numbers that ended up at the venue “were heading towards 1000” adding that despite this, they were able to hear from everyone.
