The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament has issued a two-week ultimatum to COCOBOD (Ghana's Cocoa Board) for the submission of its audited report concerning cocoa roads.

This report will encompass details about the contracts awarded by COCOBOD for cocoa roads, the current status of these projects, and the payments made to the contractors involved.

Minority Chief Whip, Governs Kwame Agbodza, voiced his exasperation during the committee meeting over COCOBOD and the Ministry of Agriculture's persistent refusal to provide these reports to Parliament.

He noted that cocoa road contractors are also concerned about the outcome hence the need to have the report for assurance.

“We just want information because it is getting worse. This is Parliament, we need to do something about it …so it is not witch-hunting it is just to find a solution to a problem affecting everybody in the country,” he said.

PAC Chair James Klutse Avedzi on the back of this development, cited the constitution which empowers committees of Parliament to demand documents from institutions.

He, therefore, directed COCOBOD to submit the report in two weeks.

“We want you to give us that report. Whether it has been submitted somewhere or not, we are demanding it. Well, we give you two weeks,” he said.
