Schools Feeding Programme - nine day wonder?

Begoro, Dec. 20, GNA - The Fanteakwa District Chief Executive, Mr Ebenezer Ofoe Caesar on Thursday denied rumours that the government's Schools Feeding Programme was a "nine day wonder".

Mr Caesar denied the rumours when answering questions on the programme at an assembly meeting at Begoro.

He said about 1,000 pupils were currently benefiting from the programme at the Bepoase Methodist Primary School, Osino D/A Primary and Abuorso Roman Catholic Primary schools.

He said the government was considering employing the services of cateresses to prepare food for the pupils as against the earlier plan to prepare food in the beneficiary schools.

He said his outfit would monitor closely the progress of the programme so as to eliminate loopholes that hinder its operation.
