The Deputy Public Relations Officer of the National School Feeding Caterers Association, Margaret Larbi, has expressed disappointment over the lack of formal communication regarding the termination of their contracts.
According to her, caterers first heard about the termination on social media and were not issued any official letters.
Speaking on Citi Eyewitness News on May 8, 2025, Deputy Public Relations Officer Margaret Larbi said, “We heard of it on social media. The termination of our appointment was not communicated to us through an official letter, we simply saw it online. No formal communication, nothing of that sort.”
It will be recalled that on May 2, 2025, the Ghana School Feeding Programme announced the termination of contracts for all caterers.
The Deputy PRO of the Association noted that a petition has been submitted to the Minister for Gender, Children, and Social Protection, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, and are awaiting a response.
In 2023, a total of 3,801,491 children benefited from the Ghana School Feeding Programme.
The programmes aims to provide prepared meals in schools to boost enrolment, prevent starvation, and improve nutrition.
