Vice-President Mahamadu Bawumia has announced the launch of a digitised School Feeding Programme, known as ‘e-feeding’ programme, next week to track daily menu across the country.
He made this disclosure while addressing the 70th anniversary celebration of Fijai Senior High School in Takoradi in the Western Region.
According to Dr Bawumia, the digitised School Feeding Programme would track the number of students fed and the menu on daily basis to avoid future embezzlement of funds of the programme.
He said the Akufo-Addo-led administration is doing so much in the transformation of the country, adding “the critics should desist from criticising the efficacy of the digitisation of the School Feeding Programme indiscriminately”.
Dr Bawumia added that in terms of digitisation Ghana is far ahead of the developed countries, and stressed the need for all to embrace it.
“We are coming late into the game, and we are able to leapfrog a lot of systems because we don’t have a legacy system. As students, you should reach for the sky in anything you set your minds on. We should not let history of slavery and colonialism enslave our mindset,” he said.
