Venessa Edotom Boateng, a broadcast Journalist has quizzed the number of expired repackaged foods Ghanaians are eating.
The Metro TV broadcaster was reacting to a document presented by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa about 22,000 expired 50kg bags of rice to feed Free SHS students.
She wrote on X, accompanied by a video of the expired 22,000 bags of rice, “Imagine your child eating this rubbish!!!! Our leaders are heartless and wicked. Who knows how many expired repackaged foods we eat!!! Eiiiii I am still shocked! These people don’t rate us!!!!”.
Hon. Ablakwa, through a parliamentary oversight, uncovered a grand callous, dangerous, murderous, and corrupt scheme that puts the health of Senior High School students in extreme jeopardy.
He revealed that a crony company was allowed to criminally re-package over 22,000 50kg bags of expired and contaminated rice into different 50kg bags without expiry dates under the full protection of NPP political heavyweights.
Meanwhile, Okudzeto Ablakwa has now also fingered the Ministry of Education as being complicit in the supply of 22,000 expired 50kg of rice to feed Free SHS students after their spokesperson denied knowledge of the situation.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Education Kwasi Kwarteng has asserted that the rice had expired but the expiry date got extended.
