'Koobi' sellers to sue minister
Sellers of salted fish (koobi) at Yeji in the Pru
District of the Brong Ahafo have threatened to sue
the Minister of Environment Science and
Technology, over his claim that, koobi sellers use
formalin to preserve their fish.

According to the sellers, since the pronouncement
by the sector Minister, Professor Kwabena Frimpong
Boateng, their business had been affected badly.

The koobi sellers also did not know what the
future holds for them as their business was
gradually going down.

“Our customers from Sunyani, Kumasi and Accra
are no longer patronising koobi, because when they
buy and send to their respective destinations,
people do not buy”

Leader of the salted fish sellers at Yeji, Mrs.
Juliana Gidisu said, “what the minister said is
not true. I have not seen such a medicine before.
Where are we going to get such medicine from? From
the mortuary or the market. He just wants to
destroy our market. We want him to come on radio
and TV to retract what he said or we would sue
him.”
