The Director of Legal and Corporate Affairs for the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), Joseph Yaw-Bernie Bennie, has assured that as a regulatory body, the FDA remains committed to protecting Ghanaians' health and safety.
According to him, the authority will not jeopardise the health and safety of Ghanaians, especially children or students for any reason.
This follows allegations made by the Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who claimed that a total of 22,000 bags of expired and repackaged rice were distributed to various Senior High Schools across the country.
He alleged that the consignment was distributed through the Free Senior High School Secretariat in February this year.
