If you want to rear cattle put up a ranch - Nduom

The flagbearer of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, has said when he comes to power he will halt the free range of rearing cattle and other livestock.

According to him, those interested in the cattle business must "put up a ranch and take care of them."

"If I had the opportunities, we will halt this roaming cattle and other livestock practice. You want to rear cattle, put up a ranch and take care of them on your own property, feed them there," the business magnate said in a Facebook post.

Below is the full statement:

Agogo DCE Says What? Are We Safe?

It has been reported in the media that the District Chief Executive for Asante Akim North Paul Kingsley Averu has asked residents to protect themselves against possible attacks by nomadic herdsmen.

It is instructive to know that at least four persons, three nomadic herdsmen and a local resident last week alone at Agogo in the Asante Aken North district.

Question is, what do we pay taxes for? And why do we elect people to manage the affairs of our country? What sort of chaos will we visit on ourselves if we all decided to buy arms to protect our families?

If I had the opportunities, we will halt this roaming cattle and other livestock practice. You want to rear cattle, put up a ranch and take care of them on your own property, feed them there.
