Government to set up Permanent Committee to Oversee Efficient Management of Lake Bosomtwe in Ashanti

Government is to set up a permanent committee to oversee the efficient and sustainable management of Lake Bosomtwe and its resources.

This comes amid growing concerns about the depletion of the lake’s fish stock and pollution.

Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Akwasi Oppong-Fosu, said the committee would be made up of representatives of Traditional Authorities, the District Assembly, Forestry Commission, Water Resources Commission and the Ministry of Fisheries.

He dropped the hint when he visited Abono, one of the communities in its basin, as part of a two-day official tour of the Ashanti Region.
