School Feeding caterers receive threats of contract termination for demanding payment of arrears.

Madam Juliana Cudjoe, the President of Greater Accra School Feeding Caterers Association has revealed that members of the Association are receiving threats of contract termination for demanding payment of arrears owed them.

Meanwhile, Mr Siiba Alfa, Public Relations Officer, Ghana School Feeding Programme, said the threat claims were new to the Secretariat, adding that, they would look into the matter.

“We will be engaging our various coordinators on the issues raised and ensure that the issues are addressed,” he said.
