KEVIN TAYLOR, NEVER HOLD BRIEF FOR ANY GHANAIAN LEADER INCLUDING THE CHIEFS, PASTORS, POLITICIANS, TOP POLICE AND ARMED FORCES PERSONNEL, ETC.

GHANA IS FINISHED TILL THY KINGDOM COME! IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM, PERIOD!

KEVIN TAYLOR HAS NOW GOT THE TRICK! DUNCAN WILLIAMS, ETC HAVE GOT THE TRICK AND MESSAGE!

GHANAIAN LEADERS ARE ALL CRIMINALS AGAINST THE PROGRESS AND MODERN DEVELOPMENT OF GHANA AND ORDINARY POOR UNCONNECTED GHANAIAN FAMILIES,.

ALSO, GHANA'S LEADERS ARE ALL CRIMINALS AGAINST THE WELLBEING OF DOWNTRODDEN GHANAIANS SO THAT THEY AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS ONLY CAN CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO OF LOOTING GHANA TO BE ABLE TO LORD IT OVER "OTHER" GHANAIANS IN A DIVIDE AND RULE STRATEGY.

HAS KEVIN NEVER HEARD ABOUT GHANAIAN LEADERS "PROTOCOL" ACCESS TO GHANA'S BEST HEATHCARE FACILITIES AND THE BEST OVERSEAS MEDICAL AND HEALTHCARE ACCESS AT THE BANKRUPT GHANAIAN TAXPAYERS EXPENSE, ADMISSIONS OF THEIR CHILDREN TO THE BEST EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS HOME AND ABROAD REGARDLESS OF HOW BLOCKHEADED THEIR CHILDREN ARE, EMPLOYMENT OF THEIR BLOCKHEADED CHILDREN IN THE BEST PUBLIC SERVICE INSTITUTIONS WHERE THEIR CHILDREN CAN LOOT THE STATE "BIG TIME", AND GO SCOT-FREE, ETC? THAT'S GHANA FOR YOU!

IT IS A CLIQUE AMONG GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE LEADERS."DE THERE"!

OSP, ORAL ETC WILL NEVER RECOVER A DIME FROM ANYBODY. THEIR FAKE "INVESTIGATIONS" ARE ALL A MASSIVE SMOKESCREEN AND A HYPE. MAHAMA, AKUFO-ADDO, KUFUOR, OTUMFUOR, ETC AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS ARE ALL PART OF "THE CRIMINAL CLIQUE". GHANA IS FINISHED!

THOSE FAKE OSP, ORAL, AG, NATIONAL SECURITY, ETC ARE ALL SMOKESCREENS. THEY DO NOT EXIST TO SERVE THE BEST INTEREST OF GHANA AND GHANA'S ECONOMY FOR THE COMMON GOOD. THOSE INSTITUTIONS EXIST ONLY TO PROTECT THE INTEREST OF GHANA'S PROMINENT LEADERS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, PERIOD!

TAKE AKUFO-ADDO, KUFUOR, SAM JONAH, NKRUMAH'S CHILDREN, THE OCQUAYES, ETC AS A TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF THE ABOVE STATEMENT. THESE PEOPLE ARE WHERE THEY WERE/ARE TODAY NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE/ARE EXCEPTIONALLY CLEVER, BUT BECAUSE OF THEIR FAMILY CONNECTIONS TO PAST GHANAIAN LEADERS, PERIOD!

THAT IS WHAT GHANA'S LEADERS DO TO MAINTAIN THEIR HOLD ON POWER TO THE EXCLUSION OF THE DOWNTRODDEN WHO "CANNOT BEAT THEM AND JOIN THEM".

THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON IN GHANA SINCE 1957. THE STRATEGY IS TO DIVIDE, IMPOVERISH ORDINARY GHANAIANS THROUGH WICKED TAXES AND LOANS, UNDER-DEVELOP THEM ALONG TRIBAL LINES, AND RULE DOWNTRODDEN GHANAIANS TILL THY KINGDOM COME.

THAT EXPLAINS WHY TOTAL ILLITERACY AND CRASS DEPRIVATION HAVE BEEN IN GHANA SINCE 1957, DESPITE NKRUMAH'S SO-CALLED FREE UNIVERSAL EDUCATION SYSTEM IN GHANA AND ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT BASED ON MERIT RATHER THAN TRIBE AND FAMILY POLITICAL AFFILIATION.

The entire story reads like a letter from a drunk drunkard. Government is offering 5040 per tonne. Opponent Nkrumah has an issue. He is not "interested" in the FOB but the price per bag. Obviously, he's not comfortable because it will defeat his argument and because they have set themselves to use trivial issues to crawl back into the hearts of Ghanaians, he now compares 3100 to 3228 and then to 6000. Let the man come again.
In any case, since the cocoa is sold for dollars, should we not compare the farmer's earning now in dollar terms to that of their time in power?
Mr Oppong Nkrumah, Mahama has done what you and your evil intended party cannot do in your summed lifetimes. The cedi equivalent of the country's earnings has significantly reduced because of the apprention of the cedi but Mahama still increased the producer price. Your party would have cut the remaining hair on our heads.
Go way you!!!!!

If there isn't a factual error in the numbers presented in the article, then the MP's math is way off.

Cocoa futures trade around $5,040 per ton as of today 8/5/2025.
The $5,040 price tag for a ton of cocoa is an increase of 62.58% from $3,100- all of these numbers are mentioned in the article.

Not sure how the MP got the 28 cedis since a 62.58 percent increase on any of the numbers doesn't yield 28 i.e. via a 64 kg bag or per ton.

A bag of cocoa in Ghana weighs about 64 kg and a ton of cocoa is approximately 1,000 kg. A ton of cocoa makes about 15.625 bags i.e. (1,000 kg per ton divided by 64 kg per cocoa bag).

$3,100 divided by 15.625 bags of cocoa equal $198 per 64kg cocoa bag (old price).

New price of 5,040 divided by 15.625 bags of cocoa equal 323.077 per bag.

$198 times 1.6258 (increase) equal $321.908 rounded to $322.

The 28 cedis is wrong. I doubt that the government doesn't mark up the price of cocoa it buys from the people.

Both governments haven't done enough to compensate cocoa farmers properly. Not long ago the price of cocoa hit a record high however the government i.e. the NPP gov't didn't pay the farmers more. Mahama even criticized them for not doing enough about that. Now the shoe is on the other foot.

Politicians are very dubious not worth an ounce of trust.

It is very SAD that some people have human skin but they are ANIMALS. How can you allow yourselves to be deceived by Ato Forson? He tricked farmers by mentioning 5000 when the actual price he gave to the farmers is C3228. These ANIMALS are even insulting Oppong Nkrumah who is telling the truth. The Minister of Agriculture, Eric Opoku himself explained why the price is C3228 but you're here saying it's 5000. Ghana is doomed with people like these.

Nkrumah, you have a huge task ahead of you. This cocoa price is a big problem for cocoa farmers. Remember that only 32,000out of the 53,000 registered voters in this constituency went to the polling station in 2024. I was here and I tell you that all those who intentionally stayed away were NPP supporters......and mostly cocoa farmers. If Maamah gets away with this, a lot of the cocoa farms will become galamsey sites. You already know how threatening the situation is.
Since Maamah is now setting cocoa price in dollars, he should give us the dollars. After all the world pays for our cocoa with dollars, not the useless pieces of paper called the cedi!

Unfortunately our strong cedi is the reason why the cedi equivalent has reduced making it look like the price per bag has gone up by ONLY GHC128...

NPP should stop being mischievous and disingenuous.
