Prof John Gatsi 

Akatsi, Volta Region, December 8, 2019//-Ghanaian economist, Prof John Gatsi  has called on the Church to work with  the relevant government agencies to campaign against the inappropriate use of chemicals by vegetable farmers and fruit sellers to protect the health of Ghanaians.

According to him, campaigning against this bad farming and selling practice would also increase family incomes in the West African country.
Prof Gatsi who is also the Dean of the School of Business of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) made the call in his acceptance speech as the Chairman at the annual harvest of Christ the King Catholic Cathedral at Akatsi on Sunday  8, December 2019.
Prof explained that annual harvest by the Church is a reminder to members to be productive and hardworking though fundraising is the ultimate goal.
He said almost everything natural is being destroyed, adding: “Our forests, farmlands and the produce from the farmlands are also being destroyed” .
Prof Gatsi informed the gathering that the MP for Akatsi South, Bernard Ahiafor who was a guest of honour was his classmate at Sixth form in Ketasco and year mate at University of Ghana , Legon.
