Two stories that dominated this week were stories about the Britain referendum and a story about the Nkwanta South DCE. Alfred Kofi Wukanye was complaining about a recently commissioned Dodo Pepeso-Nkwanta road described by President John Mahama as "one of the best quality roads" in Ghana.
On Monday came a story about the 2016 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo saying his party would establish a factory in each of the 216 districts in the country if elected President.
After criticisms from some political parties the Communications Director, Nana Akomea told Joy FM two or three districts could be combined for one factory if it is established that they share the same raw material.
