‘Don’t rush this law’ – Oppong Nkrumah demands farmers be heard before Cocoa Bill is passed

Ranking Member on Parliament’s Economy and Development Committee, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has urged Parliament not to rush the passage of the Cocoa Board Reforms Bill.

According to him, cocoa remains one of Ghana’s most important industries and any major policy change must be subjected to extensive engagement before it becomes law.

He argued that previous decisions on cocoa pricing had already affected cocoa-growing communities, making it even more important for Parliament to proceed cautiously.
