The Executive Director of Africa Education Watch, Kofi Asare says suppliers of foodstuffs to the country's second-cycle institutions under the School Feeding Programme are concerned about the future of their contracts.
This uncertainty has led to a shortage of food in the schools.
He explained that the current food shortages in schools stem from the suppliers' fear of losing their contracts under the new administration. "The issue with school feeding is a liquidity challenge.
However, within the context of this challenge, the immediate problem is the reluctance of suppliers who are unsure about the future of their contracts," Asare noted.
