According to the Caretaker Minister, the expansion of the school feeding programme is on hold to enable government pay its debt to the caterers who were engaged.

Responding to a question posed by the Member of Parliament for Yilo Krobo, Albert Tetteh Nyarkotey on when government will extend the school feeding programme to his constituency, the Caretaker Minister said: “Currently the expansion of the programme is on hold. We are clearing all arrears of caterers and putting in place measures to ensure effective and efficient service delivery to all beneficiary schools as well as the caterers.

“We are also putting in place a management information system to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of the system. We shall surely inform this august House when we are ready to expand the programme to cover additional schools.”
