The Ministry of Education has dismissed reports that Senior High Schools across the country are facing food shortages.

According to the Ministry, a documentary being published by some media houses in Accra purporting to pose a grim picture of what is happening in the schools should be disregarded.

Mr Kwasi Kwarteng, the Ministry of Education spokesperson in an interview on Ghana Fapim show on Sompa FM in Kumasi hosted by Nana Yaw Boamah said the school has adequate food supply.

He said In the said documentary, a student with a spoon is seen carefully dividing the fish in what looks like palm nut soup into several pieces to share with other students seated around the table who had been served rice.

Meanwhile, Mr Patrick Effah the General Secretary of the Ghana National Association of Food Suppliers has denied the assertion that there is food shortages in the various senior high schools across the country.

He said the association has adequately supplied the schools with food and was shocked by such publications from some media instructions on the country.

The Members of Food Suppliers Association in about four months ago picketed at the Ministry if Food and Agric by accusing the government of refusing their debts owed them from foods supplied to the schools.

But Mr. Patrick Effah hinted that the government has made payments to their members to defray some of their debts.
