Cocoa Bill: COCOBOD says new reforms will protect farmers from sector’s old gaps

Mr Sam also defended the legislative process, arguing that the bill was not simply drafted and pushed through Parliament without scrutiny.“The impression created out there as though Parliament never had any time or opportunity to dealing with the bill is something of much concern, and it comes to the credibility of the narrative being put out there by the minority,” he said.

Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express on Monday, he said several provisions introduced in the new law did not exist in previous legislation governing the cocoa sector.
