“We are going to make some improvements and changes to the generality of the business of the house.

He also stressed the need for political neutrality to be maintained among chiefs.

“We have always maintained our political neutrality and we think that the decision of the Volta Regional House of Chiefs was to the effect that they will not allow anybody to interfere with the political neutrality of the House and that is what we established today by this elections,” Togbe Tepre Hodo IV noted.
