The National Coordinator of the School Feeding Programme, Dr. Kwame Adu-Nsiah has debunked claims that the School Feeding Programme’s regional and zonal coordinators are selected based on tribal lines.
Dr Kwame Adu-Nsiah was responding to accusations by some women and youth groups in the Northern Region that coordinators of the school feeding programme in the Northern Region were selected based on ethnicity.
According to him the selection was based solely on merit but not on tribal considerations as the women and youth groups who went on rampage and locked up some of the offices in the region recently, wanted the public to believe.
He described as false the allegation that some of the caterers also double as coordinators in the region.
“All such persons were asked to relinquish one of their positions since it was not lawful for them to hold the two positions at the same time,” he explained.
Reacting to speculations that the national and regional coordinators were at ‘war’, Dr. Kwame Adu-Nsiah pointed out that both parties had resolved to work in unity and harmony to see to the success of the school feeding programme.
He disclosed also that none of the programme’s development partners has pulled out as being speculated.
“The development partners do give their support in diverse ways, none of them has dropped out of the program; we are still in good working terms with all our development partners,” he emphasized.
