Following the drought in Northern Ghana, the Founding President of IMANI Africa Franklin Cudjoe, has said it is important for the government to tackle the situation heads on because the economy and its inhabitants are too frail to take on another avoidable phenomenon. He has however acknowledged the efforts by the Ministers of Agriculture, Finance, and Defence to contain the situation. "Good morning, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia there are reports of looming food shortages up north due to poor rains. "May we be spared the harshest effect of the looming food crisis as the rains have failed up north. The agriculture, finance, and defence ministers are doing well to contain the situation. However, we should work harder not to depend on rains and build adequate storage for times like this.
