Two caterers with the School Feeding Programme in the Garu-Tempane District, Upper East Region, have allegedly been beaten and stripped naked by some NDC sympathizers.
The attackers, led by one Alale, a sister of the Member of Parliament for Garu-Tempane, Dominic Azimba Azumah, have been granted bail, whilst the police investigate their conduct.
The two caterers, who were employed by the previous government, were working at the Garu District Assembly and Presbyterian Primary schools.
Joy News correspondent Joseph Osei said the angry women had earlier been advised by the MP and the District Chief Executive to exercise restraint, since the caterers' contract with the programme was still valid, but they would not budge.
The attackers, who did not take it kindly that nothing could be done to reverse the contract, decided to take the law into their hands, attacked the caterers, beat them up and stripped them naked in the presence of the pupils.
Meanwhile, the Regional Coordinator of the Programme, Alhaji Abdul-Rahman Sulemana, has settled on a new caterer to cook for pupils on the Adenta Community School. The decision follows confusion between two rival caterers as to who has the right to provide meals.
