    Government was informed by the Meteorological Authority but farmers were not informed. Really? Whose job was it to inform farmers. Don't we have an Agric Ministry, Information Ministry, National Security Ministry?

    The Agric Minister was busy buying hotels, the Information Minister was busy doing political campaigns at radio stations and the National Security and NIB were busy running polls on the forthcoming election.

    What nonsense is the Minister spewing forth?

  • Kobina Boafo 2 years ago

    A fool is born every minute. . We allow excess water from the lake to flood our towns instead of building canals for irrigation as its done in Northern California. Only such fools are found in Ghana and for the past 32 yes.
