A fiery exchange has erupted in Parliament as a prominent MP accused the previous administration of mishandling cocoa financing, describing the lapse as a major setback for farmers and the nation’s cocoa sector.
According to the MP, the former government’s failure to properly manage cocoa funds left farmers struggling and threatened Ghana’s standing as a global cocoa powerhouse. “This is a preventable disaster that undermined the very backbone of our economy,” the lawmaker declared, sparking nods and murmurs in the chamber.
The comments have ignited debate on social media, with citizens weighing in on whether the cocoa finance lapse was negligence, mismanagement, or political maneuvering. Analysts warn that the fallout could impact farmer trust, export revenues, and the country’s cocoa strategy moving forward.
As scrutiny intensifies, the former administration faces renewed pressure to explain the alleged lapses and ensure that Ghana’s cocoa industry is safeguarded against future crises.
