    This incompetent criminal after running a fraudulent contract regime at COCOBOD neglecting the core interests and functions of COCOBOD is hiding his failures. The banks rejected you!! Foolish man.

  • Gifty Oppong 1 year ago

    Cocoa is Ghana and Ghana is cocoa!! This incompetent just like his corrupt bosses Nana Addo and Bawumia have destroyed the financial foundation of COCOBOD and Ghana. Look at this fool!!

  • Linda Abaka 1 year ago

    Evil man running once a financial viable and profitable organization, COCOBOD under Dr Opuni has succeeded in mismanaging it in a brutal way. God will punish you

  • Eunice Obour 1 year ago

    The banks rather rejected COCOBOD because of its corruption and mismanagement as well as lack of leadership. Dr Opuni should come back to correct the wrongs.

  • Cynthia Odom 1 year ago

    JM pls bring back Dr Opuni to COCOBOD to restore strong leadership, discipline workforce, well coordinated functional structures and results. COCOBOD needs him badly than before!!

  • Freda Osei 1 year ago

    COCOBOD needs Dr Opuni oooooooo!!!! JM respectfully are you listening to the overwhelming call to bring back Dr Opuni to streamline things. JM as Ghana needs you, COCOBOD needs Dr Opuni too

  • Lois Armah 1 year ago

    Clearly Ghana needs former President Mahama and COCOBOD too needs Dr Kwabena Stephen Opuni to reset Ghana/COCOBOD to the path of a better Ghana we want

  • Mabel Manu 1 year ago

    I support the call to bring back Dr Stephen Opuni for his credibility, strong leadership and results to quickly turn things around

  • Francis Bonsu 1 year ago

    Yes bring back Dr Opuni for Ghana and COCOBOD'S quick recovery and legitimacy in order to back the trust of the capital market and partners

  • Kojo Oppong 1 year ago

  • Samson Acquah 1 year ago

    The answer to COCOBOD'S crisis is Dr Opuni. Hmmm just like JM we're now appreciating his vision, competence and results. President Mahama please consider the reappointment of Dr Opuni to head COCOBOD

  • Kodua Acheampong 1 year ago

    The overwhelming call for president Mahama to appoint Dr Opuni to save Ghana Cocoa Board is a good call

  • ORCHERE 1 year ago

    IT'S RATHER THE SYNDICATED BANKS THAT HAVE DESERTED GHANA, LIKE THE BOND MARKET, COCOBOD HAS BECOME TO RISKY CUSTOMER TO DO BUSINESS WITH. THIEVES........

  • Johnny 1 year ago

    The headline should be "international syndicates deny Ghana Cocobod loan, Cocobod turns to Ghanaian banks to seek higher interest loans". How do you voluntarily leave interest rates of less than 10% to a local bank that will ...

    This NPP Govt has destroyed Ghana and COCOBOD ooo seriously. Hmmm JM'S Govt for quick stability must consider Dr Opuni to manage COCOBOD. He has the experience and the capacity to turn things around

  • El Matador 1 year ago

    Brainless fools, Cocobod has also collapsed. You will all go to jail.

  • Maame Aseidu 1 year ago

    Shameless lair!!! Who is he trying to lie to? Who? The traditional syndicated loan bank partners denied us money. They (COCOBOD) went there with a proposal to sell upfront to 2028.

  • Mary Boakye 1 year ago

    Look at this useless Chief Executive trying hard to hide his incompetence -- from 1.8 billion dollars syndicated loan under Dr Opuni to 800 under you Joseph Aidoo.

    You lie. Ghana has been booted out of the international money markets. Debt restructuring. You can't pay back your loans. Shameful.

  • Abram Mensah 1 year ago

    President Mahama should consider strongly the need to appoint Dr Opuni to head now weak COCOBOD. This is in the best interest of Ghana

  • Kwesi Asare 1 year ago

    Seriously the call to bring back Dr Opuni is in order and JM should consider it. The jobs of thousands of men and women are at stake and the stability of the Ghanaian economy too. JM must consider Dr Opuni

  • AMARIYA 1 year ago

    GOOD JOB
    Why not list the cocoa Board on the Ghana Stock Exchange. We can internally generate money to fund to the cocoa industry.

  • Leslie 1 year ago

    Such a BIG LIE! Joseph Boahen Aidoo has run down cocobod so much that, the same cocobod that could cause $1.8 billion at less than 2% from the syndicated banks under Dr Opuni's leadership in 2016, can no longer be found as cr ...
