Drama is heating up in Ghana’s cocoa sector as the Minority in Parliament has publicly called for the immediate dismissal of Randy Abbey, accusing him of mismanagement and failing to protect the interests of cocoa farmers.
The Minority’s outcry came during a fiery parliamentary session, with members lambasting Abbey for what they describe as poor leadership and alleged inefficiencies within COCOBOD. “We cannot sit idle while the livelihoods of our farmers are jeopardized,” one lawmaker thundered, igniting intense debate in the chamber.
Political analysts say this latest confrontation underscores deep divisions in the management of Ghana’s cocoa industry, a sector critical to the nation’s economy and global standing. The Minority’s demand is more than just rhetoric — it’s a clarion call that could set off a political and corporate showdown.
As the pressure mounts, all eyes are on the government and COCOBOD’s board to see whether Abbey will weather the storm or bow to the mounting calls for his removal. One thing is certain: the cocoa drama in Ghana just turned downright explosive.
