TENSION IS GRADUALLY MOUNTING UP AT CPC OVER PROPOSE APPOINTMENT OF NEW MD

Tension is gradually mounting up at the Cocoa Processing Company over the decision by the government to replace the Acting Managing director Dr. Frank Asante, who took over from Mr. Armaah Tetteh, the former Managing Director.

Sources indicate that workers have vowed to resist any attempt by the government to replace the acting MD with an outsider who knows nothing about the cocoa processing company and its operations.

Dr. Frank Asante, has worked with CPC for past 25 years as a Research and Development Manager , Production manager of the Confectionery Factory,  Quality Assurance Manager until his appointment as the deputy managing director of operations and now the Acting MD.

Since his assumption as the Acting Managing Director, workers claimed they have started reaping gains from some of the measures he has put in place and changing him would spell a doom for the company most especially if the one coming is an outsider.

Workers who spoke on the condition of anonymity said CPC was run down by an outsider and they will not sit down to allow such bad omen to repeat itself to the detriment of those who have sacrificed their lives to keep the company on it toes.

According to them, last year, CPC entered into partnership with Touton Cocoa and processed their beans for them for a fee of $5 million dollars with the hope that the partnership will continue till they get their own beans to process from Ghana COCOBOD

They explained that considering the structures put in place by Dr. Frank Asante, if the company get its own beans, the story will change from bad to good. They however warned government to resist any attempt to replace the current MD because they will resist with their lives.
