The National Food Suppliers Association has announced its intention to picket at the premises of the Ministry of Education over its seven months of unpaid debt.
According to the food suppliers, the government has failed to pay the Food Suppliers about seven months’ arrears.
The Association said the decision to protest has become necessary as a result of what it described as the government’s deliberate attempt to frustrate the operational activities of the National Food Buffer Stock Company to the disadvantage of the suppliers.
In an interview with Citi News, the Spokesperson for the National Food Suppliers Association, Kwaku Amedume called on the government to pay the monies in full or face their wrath.
“They have been deducting our money left, right, centre and when you ask for an explanation they are not willing to give it to you. In my case like this they have deducted almost three thousand cedis, so imagine the others.
“Buffer Stock deducting 3% and 2% and a whole lot. By Monday we will be calling a press conference. We have written a few letters but nothing is working.
“We want the government to pay our money in full. We are planning on serious picketing because it looks like they are bent on taking our monies,” he stated.
