Owusu-Agyeman said the new board would review  the GH¢75,000 salary of Dr Opuni saying it was unthinkable.

"It is nothing extra-ordinary to slash pay to help improve a sector…if I had my way, the salary would be slashed by at least 50%," he told Accra-based Starr FM.

He added that the salary of the current CEO of COCOBOD, Joseph Boahene Adu will be slashed by 50%.
