Ghana News–Kuapa Kokoo, a leading kokoo industry player in Ghana has declared war on fraudulent activities within their cocoa operations.

He also explains that his outfit will strengthen the purchasing powers of their recorders by providing them with funds required while building the capacity of their district managers on the use of electronic purchasing equipment yet to be deployed.
“When done, this should help management monitor closely all activities and transactions at our various units across the country in real time”, he said.
Over a thousand farmers and other stakeholders converged at Tepa Thursday to mark the opening of Kuapa Kokoo’s 25th anniversary under the theme; “Celebrating 25 years of pioneering sustainable cocoa production”.

Well done Kuapa Kokoo. But why stop at cocoa, I guess though that is a question for every soul in Ghana.
It is obvious that corruption is far more widespread than with just cocoa. As a foreigner almost every day of my life here is spent trying to get back what I have been defrauded of. Talking to locals gives me the same story over and over again as to the abundant fraud, theft and cheating that goes on. It seems to be a way of life yet most people here will tell you that they are serious Christians. Interesting isn’t it?
