Zango residents across Ghana are set to experience relief from hometown bias, following the government's proposal to address discrimination through legislation. Sheikh Mohammed Ridwan, Chairman of the Muslim Peace and Reconciliation Committee in the Ashanti Region, welcomed the move as a significant step towards resolving longstanding challenges faced by many Zango dwellers.

The proposed Comprehensive Human Rights Act would prohibit discrimination based on hometown or indigeneity, ensuring equal treatment and access to public services for all Ghanaians, regardless of ancestry, hometown or ethnic origin. Sheikh Ridwan expressed gratitude to President John Dramani Mahama and the Cabinet for considering the concerns of affected citizens.

He also commended the Constitutional Review Committee, including its Chairman Professor H. Kwasi Prempeh, and acknowledged the support of Marhaba FM in Accra's CEO, Alhaji Baba Sherif. Sheikh Ridwan urged the government to treat the proposed legislation as a matter of urgency and appealed for prompt and favorable consideration by Parliament to provide clear and enforceable protection against hometown or indigeneity-based discrimination.
