*COCOA CRISIS - BAWUMIA PREPARES TO ANNOUNCE POLICY ALTERNATIVE*
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has received a report from the minority committee led by Frank Annoh-Dompreh after their tour and engagement with our dear cocoa farmers.
In 2017, when global cocoa prices fell, the NPP stood between the market and the farmer. Prices were NOT cut. Farmers were protected.
Today, as cocoa farmers cry out again, Dr. Bawumia has received the Minority’s committee report, which contains the feedback and recommend from the cocoa farmers, and history is about to repeat itself.
Dr. Bawumia has referred the findings to the NPP Policy Committee on Agriculture & Food Security, to study and propose credible policy alternatives for his consideration.
The cocoa farmer will not be abandoned.
A policy announcement is coming. And it will bring smiles back to the faces of Ghana’s cocoa farmers.

Chelsea won UCL by beating a strong Bayern side in their own stadium, “They were just lucky.”
In 2021,Chelsea beat City, the excuse became, “Guardiola didn’t use a DM.”
CWC: “PSG were exhausted.”
Banter is one thing, but making excuses to discredit such achievement is FOOLISHNESS
So much is happening at the same time.
A hospital CEO is suspended.
Doctors are on strike.
Nurses are threatening industrial action.
I also read that ministers are receiving awards.
Party foot soldiers are defending positions they would have condemned if the other side had done the same.
Meanwhile, patients are caught in the middle.
So who is solving the real problem?
An emergency department designed to accommodate about 30 patients cannot safely function when more than 60 patients occupy the same space.
That should not be a political argument.
It is a patient safety concern.
There is substantial evidence linking emergency department overcrowding to delayed care, medical errors, staff burnout, longer hospital stays, and increased mortality.
If a health leader, regardless of who appointed him, raises concerns about unsafe conditions, the response should be to investigate, provide resources, and take corrective action.
Confrontation does not create hospital beds.
Suspending people will not reduce congestion.
I see a worrying deterioration in the relationship between the Minister of Health and health professionals, particularly doctors.
That is not healthy for any healthcare system.
Ministers are not expected to be experts in every technical aspect of the sectors they oversee.
They are expected to provide leadership, exercise sound judgment, build consensus, and bring stakeholders together around solutions.
I hope we can move toward a more constructive relationship between policymakers and the professionals delivering care before the situation deteriorates further.
Now, does a two-week suspension justify industrial action?
That is a legitimate question.
Professional associations should also reflect on whether strikes have become the default mechanism for seeking redress.
A strike attracts attention.
It does not necessarily solve the underlying problem.
There must be room for sustained advocacy, negotiation, and institutional problem-solving before patients become collateral damage.
Or perhaps industrial action has become so common because it is the only language politicians respond to.
As for the ministerial awards, I struggle to understand what exactly is being celebrated.

You are right. "We" includes me.
Six terms in Parliament. Not enough was done. I own my share of that failure.
But I did not stop there. I built.
7,000+ employed. Infrastructure created. Private capital invested.
Less talking. More building. That has always been my answer.
Defamation of character is a serious crime. Dangerous enough to charge a whole generation’s mind about an individuals hard earned legacy. If found guilty there are consequences for sure.Defamation left unchecked means acceptance of a narrative as facts. When such narratives end up in history books it becomes almost impossible no matter how hard historians try to edit and rewrite history again.
Henceforth don’t sit unconcerned while someone creates false and negative news about your character. The LAW protects you from such low lives. Happy rainy Sunday 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
