The Member of Parliament for Assin South, Reverend , has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government of failing to deliver on its promises to cocoa farmers, describing the recent cocoa pricing decision as a betrayal.
In a post on X on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, Rev Ntim Fordjour criticised the government of shortchanging cocoa farmers despite earlier commitments.
He highlighted that the NDC had promised farmers GH¢6,500 per bag of cocoa in 2024, compared to the GH¢3,100 paid under the previous (NPP) administration.
The MP further noted that the government had pledged to increase this to GH¢7,200 per bag in 2025.
