COCOBOD pushes back against cocoa farm intercropping claims over new bill

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), Dr Randy Abbey, has dismissed claims that the proposed Cocoa Board Bill 2026 will prevent cocoa farmers from growing food crops alongside their cocoa trees. According to him, the controversy surrounding the Bill is being fuelled by misinformation and does not reflect the intention of the proposed reforms. Dr Abbey said the legislation is instead designed to address some of the longstanding problems confronting Ghana’s cocoa industry, including the destruction of cocoa farms, financing challenges, weak financial controls, low levels of domestic processing and poor returns for farmers....

Ghana’s economy grows 5.1% as agriculture loses ground – GSS

Akonta Case: Chairman Wontumi jailed 20 years after conviction on illegal mining charges

What Chairman Wontumi must know next after conviction

If Chairman Wontumi intends to challenge his conviction while remaining out of custody, his legal team must not only file an appeal but also apply separately for bail pending appeal. Under Ghanaian law, once a trial court delivers a conviction and imposes a sentence, the judgment takes immediate effect....
