Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection Madam Cynthia Mamle Morrison has engaged all Ashanti regional caterers acting as service providers under Ghana School Feeding Program (GSFP).

This move by the honourable minister was conducted to address some challenges which for some time now have characterised the program.
Lapses including underpayment, over payment and delayed payment according to authorities have imposed an adverse constrain on the smooth running of the program.
School feeding slots currently run by a number of caterers in the region according to information picked by this journalists exceeds the officially recorded number and has affected the even disbursement of funds.
Service providers belonging to this category at the blind side of the ministry enjoy excess payment whiles other caterers do not receive the exact fund equivalent to their slot.
