Voters register is not an issue. Those thought to have been registered "under-aged" years ago have now grown up to be of the voting age.. So, what is there to clean now?

Ghana has been planting sweet potatoes for decades mostly in the Akatsi area of the Volta region which is boiled and consume like yam largely without stew because of its sweetness and also fried which they call koliko,in Anlo if they are talking about koliko they are talking about fried sweet potato which they have both the white and the red with the red being the prefer one for most people.
It is being planted in large scale even today in those areas so to now be telling us somebody is coming to tell us or promote production of sweet potato in Ghana as if we don't produce sweet potato in Ghana is a big lie,Kofi Annan and those clueless officials should know that production of sweet potato is not new in Ghana,he should travel to the markets and the farms in the Volta region to see production and consumption of sweet potato.
Of course it is not produced in the north so if they say they want to encourage people there to start producing it that is fine but they should not tell us they want to promote production of sweet potato in Ghana as if we don't produce sweet potato in Ghana,we have been producing sweet potato in its natural form before I was born.

This Kofi Annan guy is an anti African coon and that's why the Americans tapped him to replace Boutrose Botrose Ghali who had refused to do American bidding and resigned.
Annan's Switzerland native wife is from a country that has been a conduit for Africa's billions of dollars that find its way to their banks and made them so wealthy.
Watch the documentary " Why poverty: Stealing Africa" - and see how all the gold and diamond dealers all live in Switzerland and when one of the city councils where these wealthy people domiciled had a surplus from taxes and the topic floated to send this surplus money to Africa, these wealthy Swiss who never needed the money voted against it.
A money that was stole from Africa thru fraudulent transfer and tax evasions of all kinds.

How can you say something like that, Eliman?
Present ur evidence. Not based on someone's documentary. That is not smart sir.

SWEET POTATO WAS SOLD TO THE WHITE MEN IN THE 1960 IN TAKORADI BEACH ROAD AREA.
ITS A NATIVE CROP OF GHANA BEFORE IT WAS INTRODUCED TO THE AMERICAS.

Corney,
You may have a point but if admittedly sweet potato plantation is new in the Northern part of Ghana, then I think they have a good reason to the statement.
More so, sweet potato could be common in Volta region, yet the article had us all talking and be aware and promote the growth of sweet potato across Ghana.
In Eastern Region koliko is referred to fried cocoyam.

I concur with you but what most are missing is that the Agents of Monsanto - Master GMO company is bringing the Monsanto version whereby we would have to pay for the planting materials every year.

Yes it is a good ideal if we can obtain vitamins from natural food stuff such as sweet potatoes but research shows that too much of Vitamin A. stands the risk Osteoporosis

Nutritionally, sweet potatoes are basically good to eat. We should eat more not less.

Don't scare people from eating sweet potatoes. What causes osteoporosis(thinning of bones) can be traced to lack of calcium, lack of vitamin D, sedentary life style (little or no exercise or actvities), and too much drinking of alcohol.

Please don't give false information or misinformation.

Let's enhance it as it done in Acheampong regime.Not cashew,shea butter, cocoa etc. If Government of Ghana don't abolish galamsey and encouraging far for youth, the whole nation would wails it will be too late to bring back land back. President Mahama establish special loan for anyone willing to do bring more the country and for export to abroad if you done this arm robbery , drugs abuse, prostitution and laziness many youth will be things for the past.

Kofi Annan and his wife were working in their garden one day when Kofi looks over at his wife and says: "Your butt is getting really big, I mean really big! I bet your butt is bigger than the barbecue."

With that he proceeded to get a measuring tape and measure the grill and then went over to where his wife was working and measured his wife's bottom.

"Yes, I was right, your butt is two inches wider than the barbecue!!!!"

The wife chooses to ignore her husband. Later that night in bed, Kofi is feeling a little Horney. He makes some advances towards his wife who completely brushes him off.

"What's wrong?" he asks.

She answers: "Do you really think I'm going to fire up this big-ass grill for one little sweet Potato?"
