The School feeding program caterers have called off their nationwide strike following reaching an agreement with the government.

School Feeding

The caterers of the GSFP across the country have been on strike over demands for better conditions of service and the increment in the amount spent on feeding school kids.

Speaking at a press conference, Mrs. Charlotte Ashiakie Asante, National President of the GSFP apologized for the inconveniences suffered over the period during which caterers were not working.

“We still stand by our earlier demand that the government would facilitate the necessary processes to still increase the amount from the proposed GH¢1.20 to GH¢3, considering the prevailing cost of items on the market,”

Mrs. Ashiakle requested that the gender ministry engaged with the caterers to bridge gaps within the program and also urged caterers to eschew putting out false information

“The National Executive would like to strongly admonish all caterers to henceforth desist from spreading falsehood and using the media for wrong purposes or as a tool to denigrate the program, instead of using dialogue and the acceptable rules of engagement,”

Mrs. Asante also urged the caterers to work effectively and efficiently when school resumed.
