The Northern Regional Minister, Mr Moses Bukari Mabengba, who visited Mr Ayariga at the hospital, told the Daily Graphic that the deputy minister was recuperating.
“I could not gather much from him on the nature of the accident and how he was feeling because he was in pain,” he stated.
The Minister commended the doctors at the TTH for their swift response, adding that “they have done a good job on Ayariga.”
