CODAPEC TRAINS OFFICIALS
A two day training programme for schedule Accounts Officers and Storekeepers of the Cocoa Disease and Pest Control project (CODAPEC) of the Ghana Cocoa Board has taken place at the Bunso Cocoa College.
In all 77 storekeepers and 73 schedule accounts officers from cocoa growing districts in the country benefited from the training exercise.
The CODAPEC programme aims at offering a social service, that is, free mass spraying of cocoa farms against pests and diseases.
Closing the workshop, the National Co-ordinator of CODAPEC, Mr. Kwame Obeng Adjinah entreated the participants to put the knowledge and skills acquired into practice to help Ghana to achieve the one million metric tonnes of production target in the medium term.
He cautioned storekeepers to be vigilant in their work as COCOBOD would not countenance pilfering of inputs for the CODAPEC.
Mr. Adjinah tasked the schedule Accounts Officers to ensure that funds for the programme are expended judiciously. He warned that COCOBOD would deal with any official found to be mismanaging funds for the programme.
The National CODAPEC Accountant, Mr Patrick Nana Kena-Asiedu disclosed that the training was undertaken to update the knowledge and skills of storekeepers and schedule accounts officers of the programme on store procedures and management of stock of inputs.
He added the training is expected to help the nation derived optimum benefits from the substantial investments in the programme.
The programme was facilitated by Accounting Solutions Limited, an Accountancy consulting firm in Adabraka, Accra.
