The Chief of Staff Frema Osei Opare has spoken about the unfolding scandal involving the alleged repackaged expired rice supplied to some Senior High Schools.
She described the issue as "untrue and propaganda" which should not be allowed in the education sector.
She made this comment during an interview with JoyNews' Prince Kudogah at the sidelines of the National Education Book launch on Monday, November 18. "You know it is not true, so let us focus on things that move this country forward… propaganda and rumour-mongering have no place in education," she said.
