The Gaming Commission of Ghana has opened four new zonal offices in Swedru, Ho, Asante Bekwai and Sefwi Wiawso in 2026, Acting Commissioner Dr Emmanuel Siisi Quainoo has announced.
He made the disclosure while speaking on the sidelines of activities marking the Commission’s 20th anniversary, according to prekehmedia.com – LINK.
Dr Quainoo presented the expansion as part of the institution’s progress over the years. The four offices add to three zonal offices set up during his previous tenure as Commissioner from 2014 to 2017. That brings the number of offices opened during his two periods of leadership to seven.
