Some canoe owners in
Elmina have given the Government of Ghana two weeks ultimatum to provide enough
premix in the area.
The canoe owners angrily
complained about the inadequate supply of premix fuel promised by government.
Government of Ghana
promised Elmina fishermen to provide them premix fuel and indeed the government
fulfilled the promise but the sad news is that, those responsible for the
selling of the premix fuel do not sell it accordingly.
According to Ibrahim
Idan a fisherman, when the premix arrives, they do not get the amount they
expect to get because the distributors
distributes it to other people leaving them behind and for that reason,
they have advised themselves to seize
any premix that will come again if government do not talk to the distributors
within the week given.
He went on to explain
that, the committee government formed is collapsed and now only one person
sells the premix fuel and the profit that could contributes to the development
of the country, goes into one persons pocket leaving the government nothing.
He again said that, the
MCE does not know anything about what is going on and they plan not to let him
know because he does not have enough power to control the situation and even if
he speaks, the new committee would not listen as they would listen to the
president himself.
Kojo Badu also
explained that, he is so disappointed in the new committee who keep the premix
fuel and later sold it to a high price which making the work of the fishermen
very difficult and tedious.
He added that, apart
from harming the fishermen, the distributors are again tarnishing the image of
their political party and for that reason; they will not sit for them to that
before complaining that is why they have given government a week to resolve the
issue other than that, there will be blood shedding.
