Ah, who is being DUMB - the CEO, the Minister or the public?? The CEP says he's not going for syndicated loans this year!!! What's this Minister alluding to????
that confirms the allusion of many people that the CEO lied. He went for Loans and did not get only to come back and say they have decided not to take syndicated loans this year.
We need Dr Opuni back to COCOBOD oooo for the embarrassment is too much!!. We need a trustworthy man of integrity and competence to drive a new agenda. President Mahama pls bring back Dr Stephen Opuni
President Mahama save COCOBOD by reappointing Dr Opuni to restore trust and discipline to give staff and stakeholders the reason to be hopeful again. COCOBOD today has paralyzed!!
With Ghana Cocoa Board in crisis we need a man with experience, understanding of the industry and track record of achieving results to get to work immediately --- and Dr Opuni must be considered highly by President Mahama.
Dr Opuni's competence and leadership vindicated as we're witnessing the collapse of Ghana Cocoa Board under NPP Management. Ghana needs Dr Opuni back to Ghana Cocoa Board to rescue the industry
We've missed Dr Opuni so much. Dr Opuni is great and the next NDC Govt must bring him back to Ghana Cocoa Board to correct the wrongs and continue from where he left off
GHANA BEYOND AID MPO NIE. THEY HAVE CHOPPED ALL THE MONEY.
The CONFUSION has make basaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! They are running helter-skelter skelter, from pillar to post, because no body would lend them. No body trusts them. I am sure after the CEO spoke they realised they won't get, so the ...

The finance minister now says they are still talking to the international financial markets for syndicated loan.
Tweakai
Lack of leadership at Ghana Cocoa Board and we need change --- President Mahama must consider appointing Dr Stephen Opuni to restore corporate trust and confidence
Are you surprised? See this: "We will not go to the IMF today, we will not go to the IMF tomorrow. We'll are a proud nation". Less than a week later, they were crawling on their knees, begging the IMF. How easy it is for them ...

Hmmm JM must bring back Dr Opuni a man integrity, competence and results. The COCOBOD'S Chief Executive should be resigning by now ooo!!!
JM please reappoint Dr Kwabena Stephen Opuni to cocobod to restore hope with the cocoa industry. What is happening is shameful and embarrassing
Hmmm so sad the state of cocobod. Dr Opuni is the answer to the crises in the cocoa industry. President John Dramani Mahama respectfully bring back Dr Opuni
Dr Opuni left behind a financially strong institution attracting 1.8 billion dollars of foreign investment
Dr Opuni left COCOBOD as a strong financial institution attracting 1.8 billion dollars in foreign investment and steady cocoa production levels. See the Board today with foreign banks running away from it. Dr Opuni is the ans ...

The deputy is Reecca Akufo-Addo's brother who was brought to Cocoabod from London in 2018.
Corruption and state looting.

Such criminal minded confused idiots leading a whole country. From October the farmers will start asking for their money, and we will see who has local or foreign loan. Boahen Aidoo is clueless about managing the place but bu ...

Industry players are asking government to declare a state of emergency for the cocoa industry.
Oh Ghana is doomed. Our leaders are clueless, incompetent and LIARS. I'm having enormous respect for the Minority in Parliament now. Hmmmmm.
Of a truth we have a bunch of liars and jokers at realm of affairs; just last week the CEO of CocoaBod said that they were going to borrow from the domestic market and not the international markets.
It is so obvious. If COCOBOD leans heavily on domestic loans for the coming season they will attract funds that currently flow into the Treasury Bills week by week. The already ailing weekly TB auctions will attract even less ...

Who will give loan to an institution who cannot pay their debt? An institution who can not guarantee production of pay off the loan? Boahen Aidoo has rundown Cocobod.
The current Cocobod CE is the most corrupt government official under this criminal organisation of a government. Such a pathological liar!
Boahen Aidoo and his gang are not only clueless but also looting from Cocoa Board.
They are all thieves and criminals!
Seriously COCOBOD is dead and we need a resurrection through a strong competent leadership and management. Dr Opuni is a man of integrity. JM must do everything possible to appoint Dr Opuni to head COCOBOD for immediate resul ...

Boahen Aidoo and his criminal bunch are not only clueless managing our once vibrant Cocoa Industry but also looting from Cocoa Board.
They are all criminals!
The finance minister has exposed the real intention of the supposed self buying of cocoa. It is clear that the incompetent Boahen Aidoo is struggling to get loan for Cocobod. Liars. Npp is a criminal organisation
Boahen Aidoo and his gang are not only clueless managing our once vibrant Cocoa Industry but also looting from Cocoa Board.
They are all criminals!
You are fired my friend.Which cocoa are you talking about?Go to the galamsayers for loan.Tnx.
Bawumia said he is not aware that the cocoa industry has collapsed
COCOBOD has failed to pay the final installment (87 million USD) of last year's Syndicated Loan to the international Banks.
You're missed, Dr Opuni.
Then the finance minister now says they are still talking the international financial markets for syndicated loan
Boahen Aidoo's COCOBOD and Bawumia/Akufo Addo NPP government are terribly dishonest. They believe in their own lies.
The International Banks have lost confidence in Boahen Aidoo's COCOBOD and Bawumia/Akufo Addo's NPP gove ...

If you are owed by cocoabod you have to go to Rebecca and drop an envelope then she will call her brother who is the Deputy CEO to pay you.
confused government, you collapse everything and common communication you can't add common sense. on one leg we took a bold decision not to take loan and another we are begging for loan
Just last week the CEO of CocoaBod said that they were going to borrow from the domestic market and not the international markets.
Bunch of liars, jokers and criminals!
Was it not just last week that the CEO of CocoaBod told the world that they will not borrow from the financial markets and that they will do the borrowing here?
So why the sudden u-turn?
It tells you that we have liars and criminals at the CocoaBod.
They are all state looters!
Such a bunch of dishonest people who are also extremely corrupt
As for Boahen Aidoohe is too corrupt
Boahen Aidoo has always been a corrupt and a dishonest person.
THE MESS AT BOAHEN AIDOO'S, AKUFFO ADDO AND BAWUMIA'S COCOBOD IS SO DEEP THAT NO AMOUNT OF PROPAGANDA CAN SAVE THE SITUATION. THESE SHAMELESS BIGOTS ARE STILL PERSECUTING OPUNI. AKROMFOUR.......

1. Last week the CEO of CocoaBod said that they were going to borrow from the domestic market and not the international markets
4. Then the finance minister now says they are still talking the international financial markets for syndicated loan
The deputy CEO, finance is the brother of Rebecca Akufo-Addo so I'm not surprised they are looting from Cocoa Board.
Hmm, If I talk p3, they will summon me but I will speak. Didn't the vice president Bawumia told us he is unaware of the problems in the cocoa sector?

If this is anything to go by then, the CEO for Cocobod lied when he said the will not go for a cocoa syndicated loan. He must quickly come out to render an unqualified apology fir sharing false information
This government has made politics and governance so unattractive that a lot of people assume when they call you a politician then the best tag is liar . Bawumia and his boss have succeeded is scamming us all.
Was it not just last week that the dishonourable CEO Cocobod announced that they weren't going to borrow? What has changed? This government must be booted out asap
