The chief of Offinso, Nana Dwamena Akenten II, has thrown his support behind the Minority Caucus in Parliament. He has encouraged them to speak up for the needs of cocoa farmers.
This support was given on Sunday. Minority Members of Parliament were on a tour of cocoa-producing areas.
The chief urged the MPs to represent the farmers well. He wants their concerns to be heard clearly.
The tour by the Minority MPs is scheduled to last a week. They are visiting communities that grow cocoa in the Ashanti Region.
This interaction highlights the importance of agriculture to the region. It also shows a call for political voices to advocate for farming communities.
