About Us

The current Krachi West District with Kete Krachi being its capital town is the remnant of the former Krachi District that was created since independence. The administrative and political jurisdiction of the Krachi District has undergone remarkable changes over the years. The Krachi District was re-established by Legislative Instrument 1501 (L.I.1501) on March 10, 1989 after Jasikan and Nkwanta Districts had been carved out of it. It was one of the oldest districts created at the beginning of the Decentralisation Programme in 1988. The District was further split into two districts, namely, Krachi West District and Krachi East District on August 4th, 2004, The Krachi West District Assembly was subsequently established by Legislative Instrument (L.I.) 1747. In June, 2012, the Krachi Nchumuru District was further carved out of the Krachi West District and the original Krachi West District was re-established by LI 2078.
