Calls for probe into School Feeding Programme under Akufo-Addo intensify

Calls for an investigation into the school feeding program initiated under President Akufo-Addo have intensified, with various stakeholders expressing concerns over alleged mismanagement and corruption. Critics argue that the program, which aims to provide nutritious meals to students, has not been effectively implemented, leading to discrepancies in food quality and distribution.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been particularly vocal, demanding accountability and transparency regarding the funds allocated for the initiative. They claim that many schools are either receiving inadequate supplies or none at all, undermining the program's objectives of improving student health and educational outcomes. The NDC's calls for a probe highlight their commitment to ensuring that resources meant for children's welfare are properly utilized.

In response to these allegations, government officials have defended the program, asserting that efforts are being made to address any shortcomings. However, as public scrutiny grows, it remains crucial for authorities to investigate these claims thoroughly to restore confidence in the school feeding initiative and ensure its success in benefiting Ghanaian children.
