Some caterers of the school feeding program say they have finally received their payment from the government.
The caterers for several months now have been agitating over the non payments of their monies, which had been in arrears for two school terms.
Subsequently, the Ghana school feeding secretariat has started settling them.
Speaking to kanofmonline, the caterers of the Krachi East school feeding program Miss Harriet Nsieful said, although they are very happy that they have been paid, they are still appealing to the government to extend the payments to the rest of the caterers in the country.
” I just heard from our regional co ordinator that some regions have been paid. They have been paid in full.
I am happy because they have suffered a lot and now that we have been paid, I am very grateful ”
The Ghana school feeding program is an initiative of the comprehensive Africa agriculture development program which seeks to enhance food security and reduce hunger in line with the United Nations sustainable development goals on hunger, poverty and malnutrition.
The amount paid they said will boost their capacity in preparing good food for the school children.
