School Feeding Programme national coordinator sacked
The Ministry of Gender and Social Protection has terminated the contract of the National Coordinator of Ghana’s School Feeding Programme, Mrs Gertrude Quashigah.
The termination takes immediate effect per the content of the letter dated 18th May 2021.
Her termination comes in the wake of investigations by the Criminal Investigation Department which is probing into alleged corruption in the Free SHS School Feeding programme.
In the letter that disclosed her termination, The Gender Minister, Sarah Adwoa Safo did not give any reasons for the decision.
The letter directed her to handover all officials documents and property in her custody to the Chief Director of the Ministry.
“This is to inform you of the termination of your appointment as the National Coordinator of the Ghana School Feeding programme. You will be paid one month’s salary in lieu of notice as stipulated in your contract agreement,” part of the letter stated.
Mrs Gertrude Quashigah was named the substantive national coordinator of the programme in March 2020 after taking over from Dr Kwame Adu-Nsiah whose contract was also terminated.
