Ho, Sept. 24, GNA – Mr. Solomon Kwame Donkor, Deputy National Coordinator of the School Feeding Programme (SFP) Finance and Administration, has said government was instituting measures to address shortcomings in the programme.
He appealed to stakeholders, especially caterers, to partner government in implementing these measures to ensure success of the programme. Mr. Donkor said this in an address at a one-day workshop for caterers of the SFP drawn from beneficiary schools in Ho on Tuesday. He said managers of the programme would not compromise on wrong-doing. “If you will not change you will be forced to change”, he told the caterers.
“We are ready to weed out those whose performance does not meet our expectations.” Mr. Donkor alleged that some of the caterers over bloated the number of pupils they are feeding and said random checks would be done to put a stop to that unpatriotic behaviour. He said the selection of schools for the SFP would be decentralized to make it possible for more pupils to benefit from the programme.
