The PRO of the Ministry of Education, Kwesi Kwarteng, has affirmed that his outfit will not tolerate the distribution of expired foodstuffs to Senior High Schools (SHSs) nationwide.
According to him, the Ministry is committed to protecting the safety of students, regardless of their level in the educational system.
Speaking on JoyFM's Newsnight on Thursday, 14 November, Mr Kwarteng stated that the Ministry has commenced investigations into the alleged distribution of expired rice to SHSs nationwide.
He added that the Ministry cannot undertake this investigation alone and called on state institutions, particularly the Ghana Police Service, to initiate an investigation into the matter as well. "At no point will the Ministry of Education countenance on some of these unscrupulous activities no matter who is involved," he said.
