Nana Addo's claims on Fisheries Ministry unjustified - Ahwoi

The Minister of Agriculture Kwesi Ahwoi has dismissed claims by the New Patriotic Party that the scrapping of the Fisheries Ministry has resulted in the relegation of the fishing industry.

NPP flagbearer Nana Akuffo-Addo on his tour of the Volta region told students and party supporters at the Ho polytechnic that the absence of the fisheries ministry in the current administration is the bane of the sector.

He promised to bring back the Fisheries Ministry if elected President.

But Kwesi Ahwoi says Nana Addo’s claims are unjustified.

Speaking to XYZ News, Mr. Ahwoi stated that the fisheries sector under the Agric Ministry has achieved more than it did under the NPP’s Ministry of Fisheries.

When you listen to Akufo-Addo speak it is as if he has taken pages from the NDC manifesto, everything that he says he is coming to do we have done most of them and we are moving forward.
