The National Food Suppliers Association has said that it will picket at the Ministry of Education’s building in protest of its unpaid debt that has lasted for seven months.
The food suppliers claim that the government has not paid them the approximately seven months’ worth of arrears.
The National Food Buffer Stock Company’s suppliers have been negatively impacted by the government’s alleged intentional attempts to obstruct the company’s operations, prompting the Association to urge a protest.
Speaking with Citi News, Kwaku Amedume, the National Food Suppliers Association’s spokesperson, urged the government to reimburse the whole amount owed or risk their fury.
“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 said.
