The Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, has expressed disappointment with the approach adopted by some school feeding caterers following the termination of their contracts by the government.
Speaking to Emmanuel Agyabeng on Starr Today, Dr Lartey emphasized the importance of dialogue and mutual understanding, especially given the gender composition of the service. "The first time I met them over their issue, I told them that because almost all of them in this service are women, if they have challenges and issues, the best approach is for us to jaw-jaw.
Their views and opinions can help shape and reshape the direction of the ministry and the programme so that all of us will have a win-win situation and be happy," she said.
Her comments come in the wake of rising protests from affected caterers, many of whom have taken to public demonstrations, adorned in red bands, to express their grievances.
