The Chief Fisherman of
Elmina Nana Kofi Akonu has called on the Deputy Minister for Fisheries
Hon. Thomas Tewiah Aquinas to retract his comment that the fish
processing project being constructed at Elmina will be relocated due to
land dispute.
According to the Chief fisherman more than 95% of his members do not support the relocation of the project.
Some three months ago the President John Dramani Mahama cut the sod to
begin the construction of the Elmina Fish processing plant, however the
Paramount Chief of Edina Traditional Council Nana Conduah VI was not
happy with the use of the land for the construction of the plant
indicating that the Municipal Chief Executive Officer did not consult
the traditional council. He said that particular location has been
earmarked for construction of the Elmina Harbour.
The fisher folk organised a press conference today and they all had red cloth around them expressing their displeasure.
