Former President John Dramani Mahama
The presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has assured stakeholders in the fishing industry that he will ensure the depoliticization of the distribution of premix fuel and other logistics in the country.
Speaking to fisherfolk at the Tema Fishing Harbour as part of his "Ghana We Want" tour, former President Mahama said the provision of premix fuel and outboard motors, among others, has now become a political scheme by the Nana Akufo-Addo government, which has created middlemen in its distribution, worsening the cost of the commodity.
Mr. Mahama further stated that he will introduce an effective monitoring mechanism where the Navy will survey the ocean to rid it of illegal trawlers that usually deplete the fish in the sea.
He added that he will abolish the closed season for artisanal fishers to enhance their trade.
