So would the useless Randy Abby also reduce his salary? If you scam your way to power, cocoa prices would expose you. Thieves and looters are back in power.

Looters are those who deceived international cocoa buyers and took 1.8 billion dollars to buy cocoa, couldn't get the cocoa to buy, but squandered the money. Pathological thieves

This is an obvious and conscious decision by the government to let the farmers abandon cocoa farming so the land can be used for gold mining. With 30% reduction in price, there’s no way these cocoa farmers will continue farming. No government in the history of the country, has ever reduced cocoa prices and put the farmers under the bus like this. Thank you Mahama for your unmitigated hatred towards Ghana Cocoa farmers

Truth be told!

The artificial 30% appreciation of the cedi is costing the govt more money paid to the farmers. Hence, the reduction. When you praise the govt for artificially increasing the value of the cedi, you sacrifice the net revenue from exports and subsequently payment to farmers . This may finally kill cocoa production, exports and jobs - that’s the ripple effect of the appreciation of the cedi.

Is the CEO going to reduce his salary to reflect the spiralling cost of cocoa prices?

@ Agoogie: Since President Kwame Nkrumah`s overthrow, we are yet to have some sound minded individuals with country at heart to manage our national affairs.
Those who massively sweat to contribute to create the nation`s wealth are cheated and denied and crippled developmentally whilst the stealers, looters and nation wreckers are well remunerated.
What a nation we are !

30% reduction has never happened in the history of Ghana since Tetteh Quarshie brought Cocoa to Ghana. Is this the Resseting Agenda ?

We have been living fake life as a country. We have never been true to our realities. This is the time. I am a cocoa farmer as well but I won't be unrealistic. The price should move with the world market price. When it goes up, farmers should get higher, when it comes down, they should get lower prices. It's that simple.

I dot blame the minority. The NDC government is either taking tribes from the criminal past NPP government or they are not serious about fighting corruption. If the NDC government don't sit up to put this NPP criminals to account for their massive corruption which has detail our progressive match forward but rather sit down for this thieves to discover their voice to rather speak against the NDC government then , I can conclude that the NDC is taking kick back from the NPP appointees. I am surprise the NDC is giving room for the criminal NPP minority to come attacking them for the very wrong they have put the country into. I can't thy far. If the court is not ready to deal with the criminals in NPP then let put this democracy aside for a while as and give the country to military to reset the country.

Who collapsed the cocoa industry in Ghana? The worse performance in the history of this country was recorded during the tenure of the npp Bawumiah and NADAA yet they’re the ones talking nonsense today. Randy instead of exposing the thievery and looting that occurred during the npp regime thought he could rather protect them by remaining silent and now they’re blaming him. This npp guys are evil, it’s about time this useless ndc folks get it into their head. Treat them as evil period. Expose and deal with this npp evil mararafuckers or they’ll deal with you next marafuckers next time they get the chance. NDC is useless maaan. Useless with 2/3 majority? Absolutely useless.
