JAMESTOWN FISHERMEN THREATEN PROTEST OVER NON-FUNCTIONING COLD STORAGE FACILITY
Fishermen at Jamestown Fishing Harbour in Accra have threatened to wear red bands in protest if the harbour’s cold storage facility is not operational by December 31, 2026. Chief Fisherman Nii Armah Wulu says the facility has remained non-functional since the harbour opened, leaving fishermen unable to preserve excess catches and contributing to substantial post-harvest losses. Government ministers inspected the cold store and other harbour facilities in March and acknowledged the need to improve operations, but the latest reports do not provide a confirmed date for the facility to begin working. The threatened action remains a proposed symbolic protest rather than an ongoing demonstration. CitiNewsroom.com
