NPP, NDC MPs clash over COCOBOD’s LBCs payment
LISTEN
Kofi Adams
Members of the Majority in Parliament, on Wednesday, chided hardline opposition NDC MPs for attempting to indict the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) with suggestions that it had failed to pay Licenced Buying Companies (LBCs) for the 2020/21 crop season.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP for Buem, Kofi Iddie Adams, had told the House while delivering a statement that despite the $1.3 billion facility secured by COCOBOD to make upfront payment for cocoa beans purchased from farmers, the board had failed to release funds to the LBCs to enable them pay the farmers.
