The CJA has called for the immediate dismissal of the Executive Chairman of the School Feeding Programme, Dr. Amoako Tuffuor. It said an independent public enquiry should also be launched into the activities of the programme to end what it calls the “wanton corruption”. A leading member of the CJA, Mr. Kwesi Pratt Jnr. Said the school feeding programme had become an avenue for stealing state resources. He quoted from the 2006 audit report prepared by the Pricewaterhousecoopers to buttress his point at a press conference organised by the Committee for Joint Action . According to him the CJA could confirm that several millions of cedis that the secretariat claimed to have transferred to 10 districts had not been received. Mr. Pratt claimed that the programme secretariat had also awarded contracts to non-existent companies, squandering the nation’s resources. “There are [also] cases in which schools approved to benefit from the programme are not receiving funding where as other schools that were not on the list were receiving funding. “Who made those decisions?” he asked. The managing editor of the Insight Newspaper enrolment figures of some schools were inflated in some cases by over 100 per cent to justify the transfer of undeserving amounts to them. He said the bloating of enrolment figures had given the impression that general enrolment figures had increased by 27 per cent. But Dr. Tuffuor denied all the charges describing them as baseless. He said if the CJA had contacted him, he would have given them the information needed. Dr. Tuffuour described the action of the CJA as politically motivated.
