Franklin Cudjoe is the Founding President of IMANI Africa
Imani Africa’s Franklin Cudjoe has encouraged Sarah Adwoa Safo to present the audit of the school feeding program to the ORAL Committee.
Sarah Adwoa Safo, while speaking on Accra-based Movement Radio, disclosed that she discovered several ills in the school feeding program.
“The rot and corruption in the school feeding sector is serious. This government should pay attention to it. Former President John Agyekum Kufuor had a great vision for the programme, but the way it has been twisted is a serious matter,” she stated in an interview on Movement TV.
Recounting her experience as gender minister, she claimed that President Akufo-Addo initially instructed her to audit the programme before funds would be released.
According to her, the majority of the corruption was traced to the Central Region, but when she submitted her audit report, the president allegedly denied asking for it and ordered her to set it aside.
“That’s where my problems began,” she revealed, suggesting that exposing the mismanagement led to her falling out with the government.
But in a post on Facebook, Franklin Cudjoe urged the former lawmaker to provide the ORAL committee with the audit report in order for persons involved in any form of ills to be investigated and brought to book.
“Hon. Adwoa Safo has, in her possession, properly audited report of how the fund for school feeding was raided by assigns of the previous government. Gagging her is unfair. I will urge Hon. Adwoa Safo to share the audit report with the ORAL team,” he said.
