Former CEO of the Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors, Senyo Hosi, has asked the Agriculture Minister, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto and the Chief Director of the Ministry to resign.
Mr. Hosi, in a statement, posited that the Ministry of Food and Agriculture’s approach to data and lack of consultation is unpardonable.
“Respectfully, the arm-chair analysis the Minister and/or MOFA [Ministry of Food and Agriculture] does with a culture of ‘knowing everything’, without adequate consultations and collaborations with industry, will take this country nowhere.”
“Your conduct and management of this matter is suboptimal and, respectfully, proves your unfitness to lead in the policy space for this sector,” Mr. Hosi said.
“I respectfully call on the Minister and his Chief Director to resign with immediate effect to save this industry from total collapse,” he added in the statement.
He was responding to comments from the Ministry about his presentation at the 3Business Agribusiness dialogue.
According to him, his submission was about the failure to structure the agricultural industry through policy to make it bankable and appealing for investment.
