 We don’t have resource constraint

 According to him, the country have enough resources at it disposal to help the inhabitant of the Ketu South who have been rendered homeless and without livelihood and rubbished claims by the ruling New Patriotic Party(NPP) Communicators that the delay was due to resource constraint.

“People are suffering; the people are crying, pregnant woman, children, babies, the aged, the sick, these people are homeless, they are crying for help and you want a to accept that we have resource constraint, we don’t have resource challenges in this country, What we have is that leadership does not know what to prioritize,” he said in a discussion monitored by GhanaPlus.com.
