The MP for Sagnarigu, A.B.A Fuseini has accused the New Patriotic Party government of engaging in “nepotism, cronyism and selective politics” following the new guidelines for the selection of caterers for the School Feeding Programme.<\/p>\n
The School Feeding Programme has earmarked\u00a030 percent of the schools in each district as a protocol allocation for the Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, according to a letter sighted by\u00a0citifmonline.com.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”hBOGLNSqZZ4Dlc0miIovbULxF5ElnUx9″]Speaking on Eyewitness News, Mr. Fuseini said: “this is a situation where they want to just carve out some jobs and leave them for only NPP members and sympathisers and supporters.”<\/p>\n
He asserted that this allocation was a violation of the constitution of the republic and “a violation of the oath President Nana Akufo-Addo swore at the Independence Square at his induction ceremony, that he was going to treat all Ghanaians fairly.”<\/p>\n
The President had a\u00a0duty to ensure that nobody was discriminated on the grounds of political party colours, according to the opposition National Democratic Congress MP, but, \u201ctoday this is being violated in his face.\u201d<\/p>\n
He explained that the NPP government has been harassed because of its \u201cempty promises\u201d to create jobs and \u201chas come under severe pressure from members of its own ranks.\u201d<\/p>\n
