All of the essential data and figures had been compiled and submitted to the Controller and Accountant General’s Department for the release of money to pay the caterers, according to the minister.
Madam Cecilia Abena Dapaah stated this on Sunday, December 5 during the Ministry of Gender’s turn at the Ministry of Information’s Meet The Press series.
“When it comes to the School Feeding payment, we have the last lot of arrears to pay. We know the figure, we’ve put it in and it’s at the Controller…so very soon we hope to get it.”
