Why pay NPP MPs salaries when we could give it to cocoa farmers? After all, they love cocoa farmers more than anyone.

THE MP IS ASKING A GOOD QUESTION AND YOU IDIOTS ARE INSULTING HIM? WHAT IS THE FIFA APPEARANCE FEES DOING? WHAT ABOUT THE NUMEROUS SPONSORSHIP DEALS AND THE COMMERCIALS DEALS WITH VARIOUS BIG MEDIA OUTLETS? IS THIS NOT LOOTING FROM THE NATIONAL COFFERS IN THE NAME OF FOOTBALL? WILL THE BLACK STARS SEE THIS MONEY?THE VERY DEPARTMENT THAT IS OWNING FRMERS HAS MONEY TO SPONSOR THE BLACK STARS IS THIS NOT INSULT TO THE FARMERS? IS COCOA BOARD THE ONLY GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT THAT HAS TO SPONSOR THE BLACK STARS? FOOLISH NDC GOVERNMENT AND ITS MENTALY RETARDED SUPOORTERS.

You sound like a loud-mouth-fool. Looting is stealing sponsorship is NOT, and may have mutual benefits. How is that insult to the farmers? When they only need to worry about getting paid for their beans. At the point of getting paid the ownership of the cocoa changes from the farmer to the COCOBOD/Govt. What happens there after is none of their business.

Tell me, does it make sense when there's fire burning your own house and you go fetching water to quench another man's burning house?
Hon. Vincent is this time right, if the story is indeed factual. Let's be honest sometimes and call a spade what it is.

Stop with your myopic political nonsense. This is a relevant question. Why is cocoaboard supporting black stars, especially at a time when cocoa farmers are not being paid fair prices for their produce. It’s about time people wake up and ask the hard unpopular questions and stop being myopic.

Fair prices are determined by the world market. Nothing to do with BS. You can't buy something for two cedis and sell it for one cedi. They only need to worry about the negotiated price.

No one should ever take this MP serious. His analysis are always shallow and hyped with propaganda. He's just trying his best to stay relevant and he doesn't even realize that the issues he usually hops on are rather making him irrelevant. He just wants to incite cocoa farmers against the government. He should come again, no one is buying it.

These despicable bastatds, greedy pigs and money conscious dogs calling themselves npp think because their supporters reason from their anuses all Ghanians are like that. When you fraudsters and shameless cheats came to power in 2016, did you not abolish cocoa roads construction which was started by NDC? Again, NDC supplied fertilisers to farmers free of charge. You pigs changed the inscriptions on the bag of the fertiliser from strictly not for sale to for sale . Dirty pigs ! You robbed the cocoa farmers and you dogs are today barking that NDC has cheated the cocoa farmer. We know you criminals calling yourselves a political party. You bastards never have Ghanians at heart. You are useless pretenders.
