Kwahu Afram Plains To Regulate Movement Of Cattle

The continuous tension and clashes between farmers and fulani herdsmen in the Kwahu Afram Plains South District, has compelled the Assembly to regulate the movement of cattles.

Some bye-laws have been instituted by the Kwahu Afram Plains South District Assembly to check the movement and management of cattle in the district.

This new development, is meant among other things to contain the violence and tension.

Mr. George Ofori, the District Chief Executive (DCE)of the area, said the Wawase Fodder bank had been re- engineered to provide ranching services to back the enforcement of the bye-law.

He indicated that the government had spent huge somes of money on the project and must therefore be put to good use to justify the investment made.

Mr Ofori warned that any recalcitrant cattle owner who would deviate from the rules and regulations would face the law rigorously.

He urged the traditional authorities to provide land to cattle farmers who would want to construct simpler ranches to confine their cattle.

Mr Ofori therefore entreated all and sundry to abreast themselves with the content of the bye- law to avoid being victims of the law.
