Nana Dwamena Akenten II, the Offinsomanhene, has lent his support to the Minority Caucus. He urged them to represent the interests of cocoa farmers.
The chief spoke on Sunday. This was as Members of Parliament from the Minority began a tour. The tour focuses on cocoa-producing areas in the Ashanti Region.
The Minority MPs were led by their Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh. They are expected to visit several farming communities.
Their visit aims to understand the challenges faced by cocoa farmers. The chief's endorsement highlights the importance of this initiative.
Farmers often face issues related to their livelihoods. These can include market access and pricing.
The Minority Caucus is expected to highlight these concerns. They will do so during their parliamentary duties.
