The paramount chief of Offinso, Nana Dwamena Akenten II, has publicly supported the Minority Caucus in Parliament. He has urged them to advocate for the rights and concerns of cocoa farmers.
This directive was given on Sunday. The Minority MPs were in the Ashanti Region to begin a week-long tour.
Their tour focuses on areas known for cocoa production. The chief wants these farmers' voices to be heard by the government.
Nana Dwamena Akenten II stated that the Minority should use their platform. They should speak out about the challenges faced by farmers.
The chief's backing gives weight to the Minority's mission. It highlights the importance of addressing farmers' issues.
The Minority Caucus, led by Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh, accepted the challenge.
They are expected to highlight issues affecting cocoa farmers during their visit.
This initiative aims to bring attention to the agricultural sector's needs.
