NDC government will subsidize price of outboard motors- Prof. Opoku-Agyemang
The running mate of the NDC Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang, says it is unfortunate the fisherfolk are confronted with the provision of basic working inputs such as outboard motors and premix fuel.
She said the politicization of the fishing industry is causing more harm than good to fishermen, denying them their only source of livelihood.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang made this point while addressing NDC supporters at Funko, a fishing Community in the Ahanta West Constituency as part of her three-day campaign tour of the Western Region.
She assured that the next NDC government would subsidize the price of outboard motors and make premix fuel available to all fishing Communities.
The Chief Fisherman at Funko, Nana Yalley, stressed on a number of issues confronting the fishing sector. He said what they need is improved policies to support and enhance their fishing activities.
