The member of Parliament for North Tongu Hon. Okudzeto Ablakwa has fingered the Ministry of Education as being complicit in the supply of 22,000 expired 50kg bags of rice to feed Free SHS students.
According to the member of parliament, he is extremely surprised that the Ministry of Education has suggested that they didn’t know about this criminal and murderous conspiracy by Lamens Investments Africa Ltd and the National Food Buffer Stock Company.
He wrote on X, “When I have intercepted unimpeachable documents confirming that the Food and Drugs Authority spoke to a Deputy Minister of Education, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour during their investigations several months ago (see intercepted document attached)”.
“It is clear to me that the Ministry of Education is complicit in this matter and therefore cannot be trusted to conduct credible and impartial investigations” he added.
Okudzeto Ablakwa added the Ministry of Education must take responsibility for failing to protect children placed under their care, “allowing unscrupulous characters motivated by greed and corruption to risk the lives of our dear students”.
He added, “The Ghanaian people demand an independent, unbiased, credible and impartial investigation into this extremely wicked scheme which has jeopardized the health of our SHS students”.
