There are murmurings within the corridors of Ghana\u2019s Cocoa sector regulator, COCOBOD on how Mr. Fiifi Boafo, prot\u00e9g\u00e9e of the immediate past Chief Executive, Mr. Boahen Aidoo is all over the newly appointed Acting Chief Executive, Dr. Randy Abbey.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Insiders at COCOBOD have expressed deep concerns over how Mr. Boafo assumed the front role on the first day that Dr. Abbey took office.
\nInterestingly, there were senior management members available who could have taken the new CE through affairs on his first day at work.
\nAccording to the insiders, Mr. Boafo who handled two positions during the time of Mr. Aidoo, was so powerful that top management members of COCOBOD were scared of him.
\nMr. Boafo was in charge of Public Affairs and was also the Office Manager of the then CE.
\nPer what the insiders are saying, although his positions were at the level of managers, he was more or less the deputy to the CEO.
\n\u2018\u2019Fiifi Boafo controlled affairs and was always privy to things that were otherwise meant for top management members of COCOBOD,\u2019\u2019 the insiders said.
\nThey claimed that Mr. Boafo often represented Mr. Aidoo at events and places that should have senior management members all because of his closeness to the CE.
\n\u2018\u2019If the new Chief Executive should deal with people who are deep and know the problem of COCOBOD instead of relying on Fiifi Boafo who has no knowledge about the workings of COCOBOD but assumed front role because of his relationship with the immediate past CE,\u2019\u2019 they said.<\/p>\n

According to them, Mr. Boafo who was a media practitioner before getting an appointment at COCOBOD should not be the person that the new CE could rely on if he wants to have proper insight into the happenings at COCOBOD.
\n\u2018\u2019The way his \u2018boss\u2019 resigned without informing top management was just terrible and now Fiifi thinks that it fair and good for him to jump on the new CE, we will resist any such weird moves because Fiifi and his boss have lots of questions to answer,\u2019\u2019 the insiders said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
