The Offinsomanhene, Nana Dwamena Akenten II, has declared his strong backing for the Minority Caucus in Parliament. He has officially urged them to champion the concerns of cocoa farmers.
This came as the Minority MPs, led by their Chief Whip, began a week-long visit to farming communities. The focus of their tour is the Ashanti Region's cocoa-producing areas.
Nana Dwamena Akenten II wants the Minority to use this opportunity to give voice to the farmers. He wants their challenges and needs to be heard by the authorities.
The chief's support highlights the importance of agricultural issues. It also shows a desire for parliamentary representation of rural communities.
