Mr Kotei alleged that, the Chairman described workers of COCOBOD as mosquitoes draining the blood of farmers when they demanded allowances.

“We didn’t expect him to come and disgrace us this way if he can’t meet our needs. His behavior was infantile, a display of ignorance about how things work in the industry and a betrayal of in-house issues.”
