Minister for Fisheries and Agriculture, Madam Mavis Hawa Koomson has revealed that the Fishermen in Elmina will not be allowed to go fishing for sometime even tho the closes season is over for disrespecting her.
According to her, these fishermen flouted her Instructions during the closed season therefore this is their punishment. She claim the fishermen did not adhere to her campaign against illegal fishing activities therefore they need to be put in check for sometime before they are allowed to go back to fishing
In her words, she said: ” After my presentation on Tuesday, They said I said, they should stop the Saiko and light fishing which they were not happy with and so I should reverse the statement and I said No. I wasnt ready and so they said If I was not going to reverse, I should take back the items I bought for them and I did. Now they are begging, they have come to apologize, I am told they had a press conference, one of the chief fishermen is her to apologize but we still have to punish them for that I will not hide it”
