Caterers of the
Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) have called off their nationwide strike.
National
President of the GSFP, Mrs Charlotte Ashiakie Asante made this known at a press
conference.
She apologised
to all affected schools for the inconveniences over the period during which
caterers were not working.
But Mrs Asante
said they still stand by their earlier demand for an increment in the amount
allotted to every child.

“We still stand
by our earlier demand that the government would facilitate the necessary
processes to still increase the amount from the proposed GH¢1.20 to GH¢3,
considering the prevailing cost of items on the market,” she added.
Mrs Asante also
urged the caterers to work effectively and efficiently when school resumed.
Again, she
reminded the caterers that the programme had only one association acknowledged
by the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection and the national
secretariat for which reason they were to remain united and have a common goal.

“The National
Executive would like to strongly admonish all caterers to henceforth desist
from spreading falsehood and using the media for wrong purposes or as a tool to
denigrate the programme, instead of using dialogue and the acceptable rules of
engagement,” she added.
More so, Mrs
Ashiakle requested that the gender ministry engaged with the caterers to bridge
gaps within the programme.

The caterers of
the GSFP across the country have been on strike over demands for better
conditions of service and the increment in amount spent on feeding school kids.
