  In this modern age why should we saddle ourselves with the deficiencies of the past and allow some unscrupulous persons to experiment with our lives. This is what happens when people want to stick to barbaric practices, at all cost, in the name culture and tradition. How did Koobi come about. Our elders of old wanted to preserve these commodities for a long time, that is why they resorted to the use of salt to preserve fish. They were right by then but now, with technology, such methods are needless considering the harmful effects that follow its trail. It appears some Ghanaians have added too much of unmerited premium to this unwholesome fish that is why the fisherman is taking advantage of them by using lethal formalin to preserve Koobi for human consumption – something animals like flies are smart enough to flee from. What beats my imagination was when I visited a Fanti Village to see witness how a Fantiman sold a big cock and used all the all the money to buy Kako at the displeasure of his children and wife. I also get irritated when I meet Ghanaians, especially the useless academicians, who fall head over heels to taste soups which have the repulsive odour of Koobi. Some also want to have the salty taste of this rotten fish at the peril of their kidneys. I am using the word rotten because Koobi is not the choicest of fish the fisherman brings to the market. In fact most fishermen who bring koobi to market don't even eat it in their homes. Koobi is gotten from tilapias that have died and are almost getting rotten in water. Some of them die due to the inability of the fishermen to go and inspect their traps in time. Some also die due to natural enemies like electric fish. These are the rotten fish fishermen salt and bring to the market as koobi. Why should Ghanaians risk their health because of this rotten fish.

  This is a man who headed the same ministry for years. Now that he's no more in gov't he says that ministry is not necessary. Why didn't he say so when he was enjoying the booty from the foreign mining companies in the Ashanti and Western Regions? After stealing so much money in the sector, he's now saying the ministry is not necessary. Greedy Bastard.
