โ€œFish must be available at all times and at affordable price under the New Direction and as a Ministry you should be able to investigate what could be done to stabilize the price of fish within…There is every need for a market study on intra district fish tradeโ€ he concluded.
In her statement, the Minister of Fisheries, Hon Emma Kowa Jalloh intimated the Chief Minister of the challenges the Ministry is facing especially with international fish certification process, the fish industry emanating from high level smuggling to offshore fish selling.
