Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has observed that many fishermen are struggling to obtain essential tools like outboard motors and premix fuel.
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 emphasized that a fish has no political color and expressed concern over the government’s politicization of the fishing industry, which she believes is jeopardizing the livelihoods of fisherfolk.
“Fishermen cannot continue to suffer the mess” she said urging them to vote for change by voting out the government.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang indicated that the NDC has a track record of improving the fishing industry through the provision of outboard motors and premix fuel.
She assured fishermen that the next NDC government will subsidise the price of outboard motors and make premix fuel available to all fishing communities.
