A Former minister for food and agriculture in the erstwhile Mahama administration, Alhaji Mohammed Muniru Limuna, has debunked claims by the NPP government that agriculture today under the Nana Akufo-Addo government is far better than agriculture under President Mills and President Mahama combined.
Responding to a newspaper publication on Thursday, 21 July 2022, Alhaji Limuna described the publication as the biggest joke of the century.
The former agriculture minister said that the reality on the grounds is exposing the ‘cooked’ figures used to showcase the performance of the sector.
He mentioned the very high cost of agricultural inputs under the NPP government as some of the reasons why agriculture keeps declining in Ghana.
“A bag of fertilizer which was less than Gh100 under John Mahama is today selling at almost GHS500,” he lamented.
He advised the government not to be playing politics with agriculture because it’s sensitive to the economy.
