The Minister of Gender, Children, and Social Protection, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, has announced the termination of contracts for all Regional and Zonal Coordinators under the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP), effective immediately.
The affected staff have been instructed to report to the GSFP Secretariat to collect their termination letters and complete the handover process.
In a statement dated March 4, the Minister expressed her gratitude to the coordinators for their service to the nation.
The statement, which was also shared with the Chief Director, the National Coordinator of GSFP, and the Controller and Accountant General, confirmed that the terminations take immediate effect.
However, the statement did not provide a specific reason for the mass termination of contracts.
The Ghana School Feeding Programme is a government initiative designed to provide free meals to schoolchildren, aiming to boost enrollment, attendance, and nutrition.
Over the years, the programme has faced challenges, including funding delays, allegations of corruption, and unpaid arrears to caterers.
