Fishermen in Elmina in the Central Region and all the others in the coastal areas of Ghana have apologized to the Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture Mavis Hawa Koomson for rejecting the food items her ministry sent to them.
The fishermen rejected the food items because the Minister had announced that she was not going to condone light fishing on the sea again when the Closed Season opens.
Nana Kwesi Duncan I, Chief Fisherman of Elmina told Dzifa Bampoh in interview on the First Take on 3FM Monday August 2 that the fishermen had a wrong information about the rationale behind the food items hence their action.
He apologized on behalf of the fishermen.
