The Central Regional Fishermen and Fishmongers Association (CENFA) has called on the government of Ghana to issue biometric cards to duly registered canoe owners to facilitate their business in the country.
That would reduce the influx of middlemen in the distribution of premix fuel, which had been mishandled by some landing beach committees.
“Due to delay in supply, the Landing Beach Committee members who are in charge of selling and distributing premix fuel, have resorted to illegal selling of the available supply to middlemen.”
“Ideally, 4.5liters of premix fuel should cost Gh¢7.30p, but the middlemen end up selling the premix to the fishermen at Gh¢21.00 across the fishing communities in Ghana.
This was contained in a statement signed by Mr Francis Kwofie Adams, the Chairman of CENFA, and copied to the Ghana News Agency (GNA)in Cape Coast on Tuesday.
