The Second Deputy Minority Whip, Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe, says it is inappropriate for the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) to divert the focus of the Valentine’s Day celebration from the expression of love to the distribution of chocolates.

The annual Chocolate Week celebration is a partnership between the Ghana Tourism Authority, the Ghana Cocoa Board, and the Cocoa Processing Company to highlight Ghana’s unique cocoa products while appreciating the contribution of the stakeholders within the industry.

However, Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe speaking in Parliament said such a celebration must not interfere with the principles of Valentine’s Celebration.

“Women are not happy; no woman has even contributed because it’s a day of love. When it comes to love, women are expecting that they will be pampered on that day. And instead of them doing that, they’re rather discussing cocoa. If COCOBOD wants a day for cocoa, it should tell us so that they find a day for cocoa. But they shouldn’t use a day for love to come and discuss cocoa here.

Mr Speaker, this is a day this house must appreciate that after a hard day’s work, you have to take a break and show love either to your workers, house, spouse, farm, factory or wherever you find yourself. So I beg to differ with the diversions they took us through. Mr Speaker, where is the love? They should bring it out and stop debating COCOBOD as if it’s a day of discussing COCOBOD. Everybody in this world needs someone to love; if you don’t have a spouse to love, go and love people in your office. In some offices when the boss enters everybody gets scared, this is a day you need to pull them together and show love.”
