The government's choice to lower cocoa prices was made to show good money management and work towards a strong economy for the future.
This is according to Kofi Adams, who is the Member of Parliament for Buem Constituency and also the Minister of Sports and Recreation.
He explained that the decision was driven by a need for financial discipline.
Adams also noted that the move aims for long-term economic stability for the country.
His remarks were made following the 69th Independence Day events.
