‘What kind of nonsense is this?’ – Watch as Randy Abbey fumes over ‘unnecessary imports’
The Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), who is currently on a three-day working tour of the Western North and Western South cocoa regions, could not hold back his frustration at some happenings at one of the agency’s facilities.
Dr Randy Abbey was left fuming when he discovered a large amount of imported cocopeat abandoned at the Sefwi Boako cocoa station in the Sefwi Wiawso Municipality of the Western North Region.
He wondered whether the managers of the cocoa station would import such a huge amount of cocopeat, which is used in the cultivation of cocoa, when the cocoa season is virtually over.
The acting CEO could be seen lambasting the managers in the video of the incident, which has since gone viral.
“Were you the one who said that you needed X number of bags before they brought them here?… You were just there, and they brought it.
“So, it’s not as if you needed and made a requisition… Did you make a requisition? So, you were just there, and they dumped it on you. And you obviously don’t have need for it this year. You don’t have need for it this year, do you?” he questioned.
He added, “So, these things would be here till next season… What kind of nonsense is this? Because when you did that report, you said you had done 90%. Exactly. So, why would they bring all these things here? Why do we import all these things? We’re just importing things that we didn’t need, and you come and dump these things here.”
