A brewing disquiet at the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) may erupt into something nasty as outgoing management, led by Joseph Boahen Aidoo, undertakes a controversial promotional exercise that has sparked a backlash from staff and political observers.
The exercise, which commenced on Monday, December 9, 2024, seeks to promote approximately 100 staff members, many of whom are perceived to be unqualified but aligned with the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Traditionally, COCOBOD's promotional processes span five to seven months, allowing adequate time for interviews, committee reviews, and the issuance of promotion letters to deserving staff.
However, the current process is being expedited, with management reportedly aiming to finalize promotions within two weeks.
