Watch old 2024 video of Randy Abbey fuming over COCOBOD issuesThe case was initiated by Wilberforce Asare, a journalist, who alleged that Dr Abbey had breached Article 286 of the 1992 Constitution. Wilberforce Asare claimed that while Dr Abbey had declared his assets in a previous role as a policy advisor, he had failed to do so in his current capacity as the CEO of COCOBOD. However, CHRAJ’s investigations, made available to GhanaWeb, showed that Dr Abbey was appointed as Acting CEO on January 21, 2025, and submitted his declaration forms on March 24, 2025, well within the mandatory three-month window. The ruling, signed by the CHRAJ Commissioner, Dr Joseph Whittal, therefore, proceeded to dismiss the petition, clearing Dr Abbey. Meanwhile, Dr Abbey remains in his position as the Chief Executive of the Ghana Cocoa Board.
