Frema Osei Opare, the Chief of Staff, has expressed dissatisfaction with the comments made surrounding the alleged distribution of expired rice that has been repackaged to specific Senior High Schools (SHSs).
Her remarks address claims made by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, a member of parliament from North Tongu that these schools received almost 22,000 bags of repackaged and expired rice.
In light of the accusations, the minority in parliament demanded on Monday, November 18, that the directors of Lamens Investment Africa Limited be arrested and that the board and management of the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) be sanctioned.
Additionally, Ablakwa asserted that even though Lamens Ventures was cited by the Auditor General in 2021 for supplying inferior food goods, the government has not taken any measures.
