North Tongu MP and whistleblower in the expired rice scandal, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has accused the Education Ministry of involvement in the distribution of expired rice to senior high schools nationwide.
According to him, the Ministry either actively participated in or knowingly allowed the act to take place.
Mr Ablakwa disclosed that Ghanaian-owned company, Lamens Investments Africa Ltd, imported 22,000 bags of rice in 2022, repackaged and distributed it after expiry to several SHSs in February this year.
He explained that several schools in Greater Accra received the expired rice and may be at risk of serious health complications including cancer.
