Cocoa Bill put ‘cart before horse’ – Frimpong Addo blasts post-passage farmer consultations

According to him, the Minority is not opposed to every provision in the Bill but has identified specific areas it considers problematic for cocoa farmers.“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 criticised the process leading to the passage of the new Cocoa Bill.
