School Feeding Caterers laud Mahama for feeding fee increment
The School Feeding Caterers Association has lauded President John Dramani Mahama’s administration for the move to increase the feeding fee for basic school students from GHC 1.50 to GHC 2.00.
According to the Association, the increment will greatly help them, though it is still insufficient.
The National President of the School Feeding Caterers Association, Nana Otu Sakyi-Amo Twafohene, speaking to Citi FM, indicated that the association has been requesting for this for a long time.
“We were really happy when we heard that the fee will be increased. We are praying that the JHS will also have a fair share of the roll-out very soon.
“It’s every government’s priority to sustain a school feeding program, and one of the important things that a government can implement to sustain the program is increasing the fee per child.
“We say thank you to H.E John Dramani Mahama for listening to caterers. We have been crying for this increment for a long time. 2 cedis is not enough, but we will still manage it,” she highlighted.
The increment is set to take effect from the third term, beginning in April.
