Mr. Adjei commented that the problem of reduced cocoa prices is affecting their livelihoods. He described it as a matter of social and economic well-being for many families.
He noted that both the ruling party and the opposition parties have been pointing fingers. However, he stressed that the issue goes beyond simple political disagreements.
The farmers believe their protests are a genuine plea for help. They do not see their actions as petty political tactics.
