Authorities of the Sisala West District
Assembly in the Upper West Region have allayed the fears of farmers in
the area that they have no intention of increasing export levy on farm produce.
Farmers in the district were alarmed by widespread speculations that the
assembly had planned to charge them extra for exporting their farm produce at
the end the 2014 farming season. But the District Chief Executive for Sisala
West, Mr. Moses Dramani Luri has dismissed the rumors and pledged his
administration’s maximum support to farmers in the area to accomplish their
goals. At a media briefing in Gwollu, the DCE assured members of the Masara N’
Ariziki Farmers Association that the assembly will not take actions without
correlation and cooperation with the farmers. Mr. Moses Dramani Luri said his
administration will continue to promote the interest of members of Masara N’
Ariziki farmers Association. He commended members of the Association for their
immense contribution to the socio-economic development of residents in the
area. Mr. Moses Dramani Luri therefore called for deeper collaboration between
the assembly and members of Masara N’ Ariziki Association to eradicate poverty
in the area. He also applauded the Association’s members for constantly
honoring their tax obligations.
