    That was a funny one. Spio perhaps got to Tamale by plane, spent the night at P Corner hotel, Russian Bungalows, or the residency of the Regional minister so he did not see what poverty is at the North. It is just like saying ...

    Minister, if only Government can provide the right equipment for us to hire and farm, we would do what Kutu did. There is only one or two combined harvesters in the region, hence bush fires have a day.
