“It is not true that there is hunger in this country. Of course, when you go to England, there are people sitting by the roads who don’t have food to eat, the same applies to Los Angeles and some countries and you have voluntary organizations feeding them.
“I am not sure you will find people here in Ghana sleeping with hunger, at least people eat and that doesn’t mean there is no food, there is but things have been expensive and it’s the same in other countries,” he said in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show
