Food suppliers to picket at Education Ministry over unpaid arrears

Dr. Osei Yaw Adutwum, Minister of Education

The National Food Suppliers Association of Ghana (NAFSAG) has threatened to picket at the premises of the Ministry of Education if outstanding debts owed to members are not settled.

According to NAFSAG, the unfair deductions made are worrying.

“They have been deducting our money left, right, centre and when you ask for an explanation they are not willing to give it to you. In my case like this they have deducted almost three thousand cedis, so imagine the others.

“Buffer Stock deducting 3% and 2% and a whole lot. By Monday we will be calling a press conference. We have written a few letters but nothing is working," the spokesperson for the National Food Suppliers Association, Kwaku Amedume said in an interview with Citi News.

Mr Kwaku Amedume also added that the delay in payment of funds owed was affecting their businesses and livelihood.

“We want the government to pay our money in full. We are planning on serious picketing because it looks like they are bent on taking our monies,” he stated.
