GH₵21 Million School Feeding cash stuck in NPP Chairman’s account

GH₵21 Million School Feeding cash stuck in NPP Chairman’s account

There is confusion over delayed payment of monies for caterers of

the School Feeding Program in the Central region. The monies which

are made through mobile money (Momo) accounts are said to have

been released but allegedly stashed in the account of the

New Patriotic Party (NPP) Central Regional chairman, Robert Kingsford Kutin.

A member of the Central Regional Security Council and NADMO Director,

Joe Donkor claims one Khadidja Anderson told them about the presence of

the money in the chairman’s account at a meeting held at the Regional Secretariat.

Speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr Donkor said

there was a recorded tape of Madam Khadija to that effect. He said an amount

totaling about GH₵21 Million was in the said account in Chairman Kutin’s name.

However, Madam Khadija, a staff of the Central Regional Secretariat of the

Ghana School Feeding Program who also spoke in the same interview

fought off the claims.

According to her, the tape has been doctored to tarnish her image

as she bemoaned why someone will record her at such a meeting.

She added that the payments have been delayed due to the absence

of a momo merchant account to be used to hold the money for the

transfer to the caterers. Another reason for the delay, she said, was

due to invalid details provided by some of the caterers.
