We’re not threatening you, but engage us within two weeks – Free SHS suppliers tell gov’t over GH¢250m debt

The Controlled Food Suppliers Association (CFSA) of Ghana has given the government a two-week ultimatum to discuss settling debts totaling GH¢250 million. Suppliers of food to Senior High Schools (SHSs) under the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) program are urging the government to provide clear timelines for payment. Cornelius Koku Logo, CFSA's Secretary, expressed hope that discussions would commence within the two-week window.

He clarified that the ultimatum was a peaceful measure following unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue through other channels. The food was delivered via the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) and the Ghana Commodity Exchange (GCX). The Education Minister has assured the suppliers that payment will be made within one week.
