  • AESOP 10 months ago

    Massa, do you know these public sector organisations work? Slow down and give Randy a chance. If he does a great job, we'll applaud him. If he messes up, we'll roast him alive.

  • GH8 10 months ago

    So should we wait for him to mess up before we can talk? COCOBOD is still very strategic in our economic development as a nation but successive CEO's are really not helping. Look at the performance of Boahene Aidoo very abysm ...

    That position should go to Mr.Fiifi Kwetey. You know he was outstanding in all the positions that he served in.

    Randy Abbey cannot afford to disgrace himself and the president. For that I know.
    So let's give him the chance to proof himself and put the naysayers to shame.

    Is President Mahama entrusting the $2bn cocoa industry in the hands of Randy Abbey? That's a sick joke sir!

  • Patriot 10 months ago

    Mahama has thus far made almost solid appointments except for this for this role. Here, the critical cocoa industry is in serious decline which requires a more proven and experienced executive with the relevant experience to ...

    Dr Randy Abbey is unfit to assume the role of CEO of Cocobod. He is not qualified to act as the CEO of Cocobod because he has no public service experience.
