Several caterers under the Ghana School Feeding Programme on Tuesday besieged the office of the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection to demand their arrears.
The caterers say they are not happy with the government’s payment of their arrears in dribs and drabs.
GHS21 million released by the government last week took care of only seven days out of the 100 days they are owed.
The School Feeding Programme and sector Minister Otiko Afisa Djaba have appealed to the caterers to exercise restraint as the government makes arrangements to clear 16 more days of their arrears.
The programme has been bedeviled with problems in the northern part of the country which has led to the withdrawal of sponsorship by the World Food Programme, The Hershey company and S. M. D.

Ghanaians have become impatience
I have said time and again that this whole school feeding thing is ***barred word***. I do not understand why we cannot think in this country. This is a policy for political patronage and nothing else. Lets all check how much goes into that ***barred word***. Cant it be used to build basic schools and renovate deprived ones instead of feeding children with maggot infested food? Are we crazy?
Where is Kwaku Ado, "sika no wo ho", the money is there, that was what he told Ghanaians. That the money is there and they are hungry. Does it mean the money was there for only Kwaku Ado and his 110 ministers and families? Will it be the same win for Kwaku Ado if the election were to be held today between him and Mahama? Ghanaians have seen the truth.
