The secret audio recording was apparently captured at a meeting between the former Finance Minister and the NPP?s Council of Elders in the Eastern region.

The voice, which is heard speaking to a gathering in the Twi language, punctuated with some English, is heard bemoaning why Akan-speaking people, whose regions are rich with natural resources, are not the ones at the helm of managing those resources. ??You have all the resources, but you have no say in the management of your resources and that is what is happening. Your development depends on the one who has no resources,? the voice said.

?You can?t say this openly,? he cautioned the Council members, but added that they are at liberty to talk about it among Asantes.


?It?s never done anywhere in the world. In the world over, it is the group with the most resources that rules and not the other way around,? the voice said.

In the estimation of the voice, ?86.5 percent of resources in Ghana come from five regions: Brong Ahafo, Ashanti, Eastern, Western and Central. This is where 86 percent of the resources of Ghana come from? And the oil was also discovered in the West. It will change the formula to about 90 percent. We cannot ignore these five regions. We should not,? the voice added.
