The National Food Suppliers Association of Ghana (NAFSAG) has issued a threat to picket at the Ministry of Education if debts owed to its members are not settled promptly.
According to NAFSAG, the association is concerned about the unfair deductions made by the Ministry of Education.
“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,” said Kwaku Amedume, the spokesperson for the National Food Suppliers Association, in an interview with Citi News.
Amedume also highlighted that the delay in payment of funds owed was having a negative impact on the businesses and livelihoods of the food suppliers.
“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 added.
The association is planning to call a press conference on Monday to address the issue and seek resolution.
The persistent delays and deductions in payments have put a strain on the food suppliers, and they are demanding immediate action from the government to address the situation.
