In an interview with CitiNews, Mr Ampem stated that his colleagues will be educated on bird flu and how to prevent other birds from getting infected. The outbreak of the bird flu comes days after poultry farmers complained about the unavailability of maize, soya, and wheat. Mr. Ampem noted that poultry farmers are going through a tough time now because of these two major challenges. He pleaded for government to come to their aid by paying attention to the poultry industry to save over 1,000 businesses from collapsing. He also said the shortage of poultry feed needs to be fixed as soon as possible to keep them in business.
