    I beg of you be sensible at times. What he said is perfect. Don't take it personal. They need the gadgets to work with so let the board procure for them then we ask for more output from them.

    Are you still talking? Your impact at your last government appointment was negative so please stop talking. Let others also talk. Enough of you kind professor.

  • Chuks 1 month ago

    A multi billion dollar organization that’s in debt? That depends on loans for every purchase? Do they have their own money to waste that way or they contract loans for that?

  • Yaw 1 month ago

    I don’t know the iPad generation but the price quoted is in line with market prices. Sometimes we indeed make noise out of nothing.

  • AKP 1 month ago

    Not only about the price, but what you should know is that COCOBOD is running at a lost so no need for buying any expensive gadgets.

  • Tosh 1 month ago

    So because Cocoa Board is a mutl- billion cedi company, they can buy a Bic pen at ghc 100 instead of ghc5 cedi. Rationalizing by relativising stealing is what has entrenched this culture, in our institutions.
