Joint By-Laws Target Palm Fruit Theft
Malen and Kpanga Chiefdoms in the Pujehun District have agreed to formulate joint by-laws aimed at addressing the persistent theft of palm fruits from Socfin Agriculture Company’s plantation in Malen Chiefdom.
The agreement was reached on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, during a dialogue meeting involving stakeholders from both chiefdoms to discuss measures to prevent palm fruit theft along their shared boundaries.
During the discussions, Paramount Chief of Kpanga Chiefdom, PC Ibrahim Jaiah Kaikai, noted that local stakeholders had already engaged individuals such as Mohamed Fofanah to provide security within Kpanga Chiefdom, but emphasized the need for formal by-laws across all boundary villages.
Meanwhile, Section Chief Sidie Sesay of Morpani Village stated that his community had previously engaged SAC management, resulting in an improved situation as community members desisted from the practice.
The meeting concluded with a mutual commitment to enforce the new by-laws and strengthen cooperation between the neighbouring chiefdoms.
