A magistrate court at Nyinahin in the Ashanti Region has imposed a GH¢60 fine on a livestock farmer for failing to acquire livestock license.
Seidu Alhassan, 46, who pleaded guilty was also ordered to pay GH¢12 being the license fee to the District Assembly.
Mr. Robert Forson, Atwima-Mponua District Assembly prosecutor, told the court presided over by Mr Augustine Essah that Alhassan reared cattle, sheep and goats for three years without paying fees to the assembly.
In a related development, the court issued a bench warrant for the arrest of six people who failed to appear before it for failing to acquire license to operate their economic ventures.
They are Kwabena Bio, Kwame Manso, Kwaku Boahen, Kwadwo Bio, Kwadwo Manso, all from New Achiase and Yaw Barima from Nyinahin in the Atwima-Mponua District of Ashanti.
Mr. Robert Forson told the court that the accused for the past three years failed to acquire licence from the Assembly to enable them operate their artisan, beer bar, kiosk and chemical shops.
He said on July 5 this year, a summon was issued to them to appear before court but they failed.
