Cocoa farmers are paid through a system called syndicated loans.
Your useless govt took a loan that could pay cocoa farmers for more than a year's yield.
You paid the farmers for only one year when the loan your NPP took could have paid for year 2025 also.
The money cannot be found and the loan cannot be assessed now because NPP has already taken the current crop money without accountability.
Instead of NPP bringing the loot for the farmers to pay, they are rather asking for the head of the CEO

Let's be serious in this country.
Give NPP an ultimatum to bring the money not or throw them all into prison.
Mr. President don't waste time at all over this issue again.
Let the pay

Something has to give. Mahama has all the authority to change the status quo on the traditional legal system. You can't solve this humongous corruption cases with this same old corrupt legal system. I don't understand this part of Mahama timidity. He needs the courage of JJ Rawlings to change things and shift Ghana into real overdue Reset. These crooks are gaining momentum and making him look bad gradually. This is unacceptable. Ghana needs more than road construction and someone should break the spell cast on him

I agree. I think Mahama's too afraid to be branded as witchhunting his opponents or he's under some kind of spell. But here is the oppotunity to show real courage and use the historic overwhelming mandate to bring about real accountability. It's so simple in the sense that if this is a crisis, step in and figure out who did what, bring immediate justice to the problem. We have seen this scenario before during his 1st term, how the opposition capitalized on Dumso to make him look bad, even though he was busy building the country. It seems this movie is playing again

Ghana government owe cocoa farmers a big apology and compensation.
We need smart business minded people to management our affairs; these DRS are a big failure to Ghana. Flaunting their degrees with no basic understanding of ethics and management.
In ghana we should start looking for people with strong problem solving skills and strong ethics. This is what is missing in Ghana as at now.

I think we should devoid politics when it comes to the cocoa sector. I am a party sympathizer, but can confirm that before NDC game into office, the cocoa sector was doing quite well. The then government was paying cocoa farmers, spraying our cocoa, providing fertilizer, pruning and was paying for labor cost of those that were doing these work. But my own party decided to go in for football administrator to take over as CEO. Someone who knows nothing about cocoa farm to come and mess up. Instead of him to keep his mouth shut, he has decided to be a spokesman moving from one station to another trying to defend himself. As CEO we don’t just pick position and turn sacking all the experienced players. He goofed big time and should accept criticisms and move up by even resigning. There are equally more knowledgeable elders of the party with keen experience in the cocoa sector who can equally takeover. He is just disgracing the party and made the work of the finance minister difficult. This is not time for blame game

Useless journalist! Why do you refer to that daft, Randy Abbey, as a Doctor? Nonsense. Cocobod should be scrapped because the NDC government has rubbished the objectives of the cocobod. Therefore, the continued existence of the institution will be detrimental to cocoa farmers, because it has ceased to offer pricing security and stability. This is not the first time that the world market prices for cocoa have fallen or dropped. There have been occasions where this issue has occurred in the international market, but the farmgate or producer price has never in the history of the establishment of Cocoa Marketing Board, now cocobod , been reduced by the government simply because the pricing of the cocoa at the international market has dropped. What sort of inhumane attitude is this? Have the CEO and the numerous Directors of cocobod reduced their fat salaries and allowances because of the same assigned reason for the reduction of the farmgate price of the cocoa? The NDC government does not simply have the welfare and the wellbeing of the cocoa farmers at heart, and this is extremely bad.

So what role is the Board playing? Any strategy to deal with all the affairs of Cocobod? Any risk management framework with responses to deal with known and unknown emerging risks eg non-payment of farmers, impact of a strengthened local currency on cocoa exports - at higher $ prices etc.

The CEO and the Board should be challenged to deal with this issue. The deplorable financial situation of COCOBOD should not be allowed to linger on for too long - there are consequences with existential threats.

This is a silly defence coming from a person who always lambasted the NPP Government as if he could do better. Dr Randy Abbey and the NDC stupidity campaigned largely on a reset, so why rely on the previous payment model? After almost one year, why now complaining

Randy Abbey has been on a destructive mode for some years now,first was collaboration with disgraced Anas to kick out Kwesi Nyantakyi to pave way for him to also ascend the FA presidency,God being so kind he failed but ended up destroying Ghana football,now Ghana is unable to qualify for Afcon,U17 and U20.By the time he's done with Cocobod there will be no cocoa to even export,he will not resign and John Mahama too will not sack him out of shame because the dude's only qualification for the job is that he's the bosom friend of John Mahama and his gold loving brother Ibrahim.Has anybody noticed that chief propagandists Ablakwa,Dstv Sam George and Eric Opoku have all gone into hiding leaving the field to the church mice they pay to insult their betters?

I just wish to know if the oversized salaries of COCOBOD staff have been slashed in the face of the current challenges facing the cocoa industry. Since September 2025 CoCoBod staff received full pay with other entitlements while farmers shed tears in silence. Where is the Justice enshrined in our Coat of Arms: "Freedom and Justice"?

Questions intelligent people should be asking

1. Is it true that Randy inherited the present model from the past government?

2. Did the long-standing syndicated loan model collapsed under the previous government

3. What is the minority suggesting as solution beyond removing Randy as CEO?

4. So did the previous government really help this country?

5. Are Ghanaians going to look on as this government turns things around as the minority wants and hand it over to them to collapse again?

6. What kind of vicious cycle are we citizens being taken through like that?

Randy listen to the humble request from the minority. Cocoa industry has been the back bone of Ghana after the seed was introduced into the country by Tetteh Quarshie.
Cocoa farming has sustained many Ghanaians in my shapes and forms; therefore Ghanaian citizens will never allow anyone irrespective of who you are to destroy the the industry.

Ever since JM took office, all those who have been arrested, nobe has been prosecuted nor jailed. Even Agradaa who did evil to Ghanaians has been left off the hook.
Jane Mensah is still in office, so, how is he going to reset the economy with all these people in office? How do you fight corruption with the corrupt?
