Alhaji Ishak Abubakar Bonsu, Asunafo North District Chief Executive, has said members of cocoa-spraying gangs who would engage in the sale of the spraying materials would be punished.
He said this during a one-day visit to Brodedwo, Mensahkrom, Tweneboakrom and Manhia in the district.
Alhaji Bonsu said reports reaching the assembly indicated that some gang supervisors were selling the chemicals to cocoa farmers.
He called on the communities benefiting from the exercise to report perpetrators and warned that anyone caught engaged in the practice would be prosecuted together with the buyer.
