“All the chiefs in the kingdom met, all the opinion leaders met, and they actually discussed their capital. They openly did it and there was consensus,” he said on TV3 magazine show, New Day, on Tuesday.
He was commenting on the burning of the New Patriotic Party constituency office at Salaga by some angry youth who were not pleased with the announcement of Damongo as the capital for the new region.

Mr. Botwe lamented what happened at Salaga was “so unfortunate and so sad”.
