Just listen to this shameless irresponsible piece of shit! They never take responsibility for their shortcomings. What happened to PLANTING FOR FOOD AND JOBS? What happened to ONE VILLAGE, ONE DAM? What happened to the PWALUGU DAM, into which $12m has already been sunk, with just a bare land to show for?
Incompetent and clueless misleaders whose only interest is to win elections to steal our common inheritance. AGYAPADE3 thieves and hyenas masquerading as politicians.

These idiots will never take responsibility for anything. They are just a bunch of criminals and liars. Climate change started about two decades ago. Why is it that only this time Ghana is facing difficulties in agriculture production. For example, Napo aka Mr Nose aka Mr dum sie sie deliberately opened Akosombo dam on Tongu to destroy their farmlands and crops. Where are their villages and the dams, where is the Planting for Food and Jobs? These NPP guys are bloody liars.

This bloke is empty-headed. Why is Burkina Faso able to continue to export tomatoes to Ghana? How is Niger able to export onions to Ghana. They both have irrigation systems allowing them to farm regardless of the weather.

Akufo Addo squandered what was meant for the Pwualugu Irrigation system. Unless the NPP can chop part of the money for any project, that project does not see daylight.

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?

Infact was the OneVillageOneDam not meant to solve the unpredictable rain situation?
Also where's the Pwalugu dam?

So climate change just happened yesterday? This guy is not fit for purpose. If government was proactive and real, Dr Alolo and hawa koomsom will not steal money from the 1v1d program in the name of addressing water n3eds of farmers when DMB and Nana confine with them. A serious country over the 7 years would have invested in real irrigation projects to avert any issue. These guys are really not serious

Instead of focusing on your mandate as agric minister, you became overly interested in SSNIT hotels.

He is just counting on the $500million from world bank to give farmers 1000ghs so that he can steal the rest. Does he even understand his sector ministry?
Does he know that through mechanization we can use less water than the seasonal rainfall farmers rely on to produce more.
Where do they get these people from.
And he has the audacity to put on his CV that he went to MIT .
If you go and do 2 week certification at a renowned institution it does not make you a graduate from there.
They produce innovative individuals not thieves

I become so sad whenever I listen to this so called politicians when they contradict themselves, The MET. are there to forecast for the country so that we can plan ahead, so if they (MET) have given you the forecast for the season you make use of it rather than come sit down at the radio station and talk that will not help with the financial loss to the state. All this state institutions are there to help make governance better to serve the people but pride and arrogance is the trade mark of the Ghanaian politicians, Thier best policies are analysis of after damages and blame shifting and comparison. If my company is running to ditch and I change the director and the new director smashed it totally and I stopped paying the mortgage and now you're in the garage trying to trying harder fix the mess you created asking for extension of contract. With all due respect,(That's a big joke , Madness better said

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.
