“It came too late in the day when the referral was made that the Agric committee leadership was to join the finance committee and then the legal affairs committee to look at the bill,” he said.

Former Deputy Minister for Agriculture and Cocoa Affairs, Yaw Frimpong Addo, has raised concerns over the process that led to the passage of the new Cocoa Bill.“Because in the first place they didn’t see the essence of including the minority in the deliberations from day one, and that for us was not too good for the bill to pass,” he said.
