The aspiring Member of Parliament distributed free farm boots and cutlasses to the farmers to serve as incentives in ensuring they work efficiently.

Mr Dumelo’s plan is to reach each and every farmer in the district, by the end of the donation exercise.

The next step, he said in a tweet, would be to provide efficient farming equipment to maximize and add value to what they grow.

The donation exercise is in line with his initiative of making agriculture attractive and also tackle the issues of the sector vigorously.

This comes after a global warning was sounded on the possibility of multiple famine this year.

According to reports, the hunger and famine situation could be worse by next year if bold and coordinated global responses are not put in place.

Mr Dumelo has contributed his own quota by producing a ginger planation, as well as an outfit that processes the produce into fine foods, including ginger paste.

]]> VIDEO: I hide in car boots to escape pressure from friends – Laryea Kingston https://www.adomonline.com/video-hide-car-boots-escape-pressure-friends-laryea-kingston/ Mon, 17 Jul 2017 08:08:02 +0000 http://35.232.176.128/ghana-news/?p=301331 Former Black Stars winger Laryea Kingston has revealed hiding in car boots and taxis to escape high demands from friends and relatives during his active playing days.
The former Hearts of Oak play maker narrated the traumatic experience Ghanaian players go through when they come home for holidays, with friends and relatives trooping in to ask for support.
Laryea, who was born in Bukom, a suburb of Accra, admits that the level of poverty in his community demands his support but adds the pressure becomes so intense that he sometimes had to escape by hiding in a car boot.
“Sometimes when I need to fly back to my club, I don’t know who will tell my friends and other people in my community. The will rush to my house in their numbers and occupy the whole street waiting for me to give them money before I depart,” Laryea revealed on the Football Legends Night Show on GhOne TV.
“The demand and pressure becomes so intense that sometimes I have to go in my car boot or disguise myself and leave with a taxi,” he explained.
He noted that similar pressure compelled many of his colleagues to end up spending more as philanthropists without saving for their future.
The experienced Ghana star noted that the current generation of players are confronted with similar challenges which leave them with nothing to save for the future.
“The same pressure is happening now to the current generation of footballers who are struggling to meet the high demand from friends and relatives.”
