Some regional and district managers of the Ghana School Feeding Programme have been accused of corrupt practices that threaten the future of the programme. The Programme’s Executive Director Dr. Amoako Tuffour says full-scale investigations are to be conducted into allegations of mismanagement and misappropriation of funds meant for running the Programme. He disclosed this after a meeting with DCE’s in the Bono Ahafo Region, but won’t provide details beyond the allegation. “What I find difficult is that either that some of them get the money and they don’t give it all to the cooks din which case they are more or less enslaving the cooks. I think it is very important for the press to play a very significant role here, get to the schools yourselves, get to the cooks incognito...find out how much money did you get, how much money was supposed to be sent to you?” He told Sampson Lardy Ayenini of Kumasi-based Luv FM that in some instances, school children are charged as much as GH¢5 per head for non-existent administrative charges, while in other cases, a DCE had awarded his wife the cooking contract and another, his girlfriend.
