Civil Society organization, Food Sovereignty Ghana (FSG) has rejected claims that it apologized to Parliament when it took the House on over the Plant Breeders Bill.<\/p>\n
According to the Communications Director of FSG Edwin Kweku Andoh Baffour, no such thing occurred.<\/p>\n
Mr. Baffour made the comment on the back of a claim by the Chairman of the Appointments Committee of Parliament, Joe Osei-Owusu on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Mr. Osei-Owusu, after questioning the Agric Minister nominee, Dr. Owusu Afriyie-Akoto over a petition from the group at the latter’s ministerial vetting, revealed that the civil society organization failed to prove that the Plant Breeders Bill would promote GMO products in Ghana and subsequently apologized.<\/p>\n
