"Im still boss at GEPA, Ive not been dismissed"

Gifty Klenam"We are putting so many things in place such as the ten year development plan for cashew that the President recently launched. We are looking at cashew alone giving us about forty percent of the overall target and for that matter, we are putting in so much effort into cashew production in terms of the seedlings development which is very crucial. Because if you are producing a product and you get it wrong from the seedling, the yield will be affected."
Gifty Klenam is a Ghanaian politician and was the member of parliament for Lower West Akim in the Eastern Region of Ghana in the 5th parliament of the 4th republic of Ghana.

"The president appointed me and I give him the highest respect. I haven’t received any letter from the president. Thursday, the chief of staff called me and we went to have a conversation as a mother and daughter; that’s it. I’m still in office, I haven’t received any letter and I’ve been in office working as normal, so, I don’t know where that news came from but so long as I’m concerned, nobody has given me any letter to that effect."
"We must start from the basis of what we know how to do best. We are a predominately agricultural economy and developing that industry is our goal."
"I refer to the section of the conditions of service, that stipulate accommodation for the CEO, Dep CEO, and directors, namely, accommodation provided for the CEO shall be soft furnishing, for GM shall be hard furnishing and directors shall not be furnished."
"Already, the yields that we were expecting to get from the existing plants we are not getting that is how come we started with the spraying of cashew farms in 2017. In October this year too, we are going to spray the cashew farms so we are able to at least increase production by three times."
"The strategy is to make sure that we sustain every product that we get the market to supply. We have various warehouses in most of the countries where we are going to export our produce. You can come to Ghana and the government as the center to source Ghanaian products. We are developing both the products and the marketing simultaneously."
