The New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has reassured cocoa growers that the government is committed to modifying the cocoa producer price for the 2024–2025 growing season.
This follows news of the current international market price and newest farm gate price for cocoa in Ivory Coast topping Ghana’s rate by 20 per cent.
He claimed that the recently announced change will protect cocoa growers and lessen the likelihood of cocoa being smuggled into the Ivory Coast.
During his three-day trip to the Western North Region, Dr. Bawumia provided the assurance at Okogyeabour Palace in Sefwi Wiawso.
In order to maintain the beneficial policies and current development projects around the nation, he made a plea to the voters to keep the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government in office.
He clarified that voting for any party other than the NPP would result in regression given the nation’s existing strategic policies and level of development.
He claimed that the NPP deserved a second term to carry on its outstanding work because of its outstanding performance.
Dr. Bawumia listed the several policies that the government has put in place, including Agenda 111, Ghana Card, the establishment of six new regions, One Constituency – One Ambulance, Free Senior High School, and the restoration of teacher trainee and nurse allowances.
He declared that the Credit Score System, Loans for Women Empowerment, and Free Tertiary Education for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) would all be implemented by the future NPP government under his direction.
He would also secure a 50 per cent reduction in electricity tariffs with the building of 2000 megawatts of solar energy to complement the current power producing systems.
In order to advance Ghana, Mr. Festus Bumagamah Agyeapong, the NPP’s Parliamentary Candidate (PC) for the Sefwi-Wiawso Constituency, implored the populace to elect Dr. Bawumia as the country’s future president and him as their next Member of Parliament (MP).
Traditional leaders in the region gave Dr. Bawumia credit for running a respectable campaign and carrying out a number of initiatives in the constituency.
On the other hand, they asked for the establishment of new districts within the Region and the completion of ongoing big projects.
