North Tongu Lawmaker Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has described the comment by the Chief of Staff Frema Osei Opare in relation to the revelation about 'expired rice' that was allegedly re-bagged to the senior high schools, as the "height of recklessness." It was his view that the Chief of staff should have looked at the facts of the matter and investigated before making her comments.
Ablakwa insisted that 'expired rice' was repackaged and distributed to senior high schools to feed students.
Speaking on the Key Points on TV3 on Saturday, November 23, he said "The Chief of Staff's comment is the height of recklessness and irresponsibility, you are to coordinate and invite all the institutions yet you don't look at the facts, but you jump to this reckless conclusion." "Can't we respect our laws, can't we follow standards? " He further quizzed.
It is recalled that Madam Osei Opare said that the allegation by Mr Ablakwa that contaminated rice had been distributed to Senior High Schools across the country, was not true.
