UNCONTROLLED POPULATION GROWTH BEHIND HIGH POVERTY LEVEL-PRESIDENT KUFOUR

Former President John Kufour has hinted that the high population growth coupled with the low productivity could be reason behind the recent 30 per cent of poverty level in the country.
He explains that in as much as the country invest in agricultural development, if the population growth do not tally with the agricultural productivity the country will still have high poverty indicators.
The 2011 World Food Prize award winner in an interview with Adakabre Frimpong Manso urge the government to take the issue of Planned Parenthood seriously.
Former President Kufour pointed out that the government should continue with the good poverty eradication policies that began in previous governments.
