  I respect and admire Dr.Frimpong as a bright inspiration to many of us but in this case I think he was absolutely wrong.As a minister he must understand what a destructive force his unguided words carry.People's livelihood and the fledging fisheries can be squashed overnight.If the Minister has any proof or evidence that some Fish processors were using formalin or any chemical not cleared for human consumption,then he is duty bound to have them arrested.The fish proccessors have every right to be angry and should march(WITH THEIR CLOTHES ON-WE ARE NOT ANIMALS) to the minister's office for a retraction.NDC was known for insulting farmers,particularly Cocoa farmers.One former NDC Minister atcually labelled his opponent's supposedly uncouth and uncivilized behaviour as akin to that of a Cocoa Farmer.We did not accept stigmatization of any group by the NDC and we will not accept it from NPP either.

  His comment has really educated a lot of Ghanaians. What are you saying? Don't you know that the comment he passed can only be found in reputable academic journals which is out of reach to the common person on the street? If Prof has been benevolent enough to come out with such a guide to the public, why are you condemning him. Please stop the typical NDC hypocrisy.

  They can demonstrate nakedly for the whole world to see. Koobi is not healthy anyway. If the kOOBI sellers don't have a better way to seek redress and get their grievances across to government, it will be grossly irresponsible for them to go about naked. That in itself is madness.
  It will be wise for them to form an association of Koobi sellers which will present their concerns to the government.

  THE TRUTH ABOUT KOOBI
  In this modern age why should we saddle ourselves with the deficiencies of the past and allow some unscrupulous persons to experiment with our lives. This is what happens when people want to stick to barbaric practices, at all cost, in the name culture and tradition. How did Koobi come about. Our elders of old wanted to preserve these commodities for a long time that is why they resorted to the use of salt to preserve fish. They were right by then but now, with technology, such methods are needless considering the harmful effects that follow its trail. It appears some Ghanaians have added too much of unmerited premium to this unwholesome fish that is why the fisherman is taking advantage of them by using lethal formalin to preserve Koobi for human consumption – something animals like flies are smart enough to flee from. What beats my imagination was when I visited a Fanti Village to witness how a Fantiman sold a big cock and used all the money to buy Kako at the displeasure of his children and wife. I also get irritated when I meet Ghanaians, especially the useless academicians, who fall head over heels to taste soups which have the repulsive odour of Koobi. Some also want to have the salty taste of this rotten fish at the peril of their kidneys. I am using the word rotten because Koobi is not the choicest of fish the fisherman brings to the market. In fact most fishermen who bring koobi to market don't even eat it in their homes. Koobi is gotten from tilapias that have died and are almost getting rotten in water. Some of them die due to the inability of the fishermen to go and inspect their traps in time. Some also die due to natural enemies like electric fish. These are the rotten fish fishermen salt and bring to the market as koobi. Why should Ghanaians risk their health because of this rotten fish.
