The western regional coordinator for the school feeding programme Abena Kwallah has strongly debunked allegations peddled by some school feeding contractors that their unpaid monies being the cost of the service rendered to the various schools they cook for is a result of the coordinator and some officials at the school feeding secretariat.
In an exclusive interview with Skyy News’ Patrick Ennimil Arthur, Abena Kwallah indicated that it’s just unfair for the school-feeding contractors to peddle that falsehood because they know too well that their monies come to them straight from the ministries after due verifications of their claims are done.
She however entreated school feeding contractors to participate in the ongoing nationwide verification of their contracts with the school feeding secretariat. This she said has become imperative since most of the schools feed caterers and cook for the schools without anyone commissioning them to do so.
