Stakeholders in the fishing industry are questioning the legality of a revocation order issued by former Minister of Fisheries, Madam Elizabeth Afoley Quaye on the 2021 first quarter licenses granted by the Fisheries Commission.
Madam Quaye has in a letter dated January 14, 2021 to the Executive Secretary of the Fisheries Commission, directed an immediate withdrawal of all licences because, according to her, the Commission ought to have made recommendations to her office on the renewal.
The letter which was also copied to the Chief of Staff at the Presidency, the Chief Director of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, Office of the Senior Minister as well as the President of the National Fisheries Association of Ghana (NAFAG) and sighted by the Daily Graphic said the Commission failed to follow the appropriate rules and regulations provided in the Fisheries Act 2002, Act 652 in renewing the licences for the operators.
