Don’t steal cocoa spraying machines and chemicals-DCE
Antoakrom (Ash), July 22,
Ghanadot/GNA – Mr. Charles Oti Prempeh, the District
Chief Executive for Amansie West, has cautioned cocoa
spraying gangs in the area against stealing the chemicals
and machines provided for the spraying exercise.
He said this at a meeting with about 170 supervisors and
gang leaders at Antoakrom.
Mr. Prempeh said the government had no intention of
disbanding the spraying gangs and forming new ones and
advised them against acts that could defeat the goal of
helping to increase cocoa production.
He said with the delivery of a grader paid for by the
district assembly a year ago, there was going to be
significant improvement in feeder roads in the area.
Mr. Theophilus Djorbuah, an Agronomist of Calli Ghana, a
company that deals in agro-chemicals and farming equipment,
took the supervisors and gang leaders through the mixing of
chemicals for the cocoa spraying.
He also drew attention to the need for them to use
protective gear like gloves, Wellington boots, nose guard
and eye glasses.
