Prominent personalities in Ghana will lose over 80% of cattle in Ghana when there is a bye-law to stop cattle rearing in Ghana. Ahmed Barry says addressing of cattle issue should not be channeled to the poor Fulani who is mainly caretaker.

Hon Issah Adams says the major key players in cattle rearing are the traditional chiefs, MMDCEs, MPs, and other prominent Ghanaians. He explained that None of them employs their relatives to take care of their cattle.
He says there is the need to find a lasting solution to deal with the cattle issue than always apportioning the blame on the poor herdsmen.
