Confusion erupted at the PCE Demonstration Basic School in Akropong Akuapem, Eastern Region, on Monday, June 30, 2025, after a man suspected to be affiliated with the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) disrupted the School Feeding Programme in a dramatic fashion.
The incident, which was captured on video and shared by Angel FM, showed the man reportedly confronting the caterers moments before meals were to be served to the children. The disagreement allegedly stemmed from unresolved issues related to the school feeding contract, with the man asserting that the caterers had no authority to continue their services.
What started as a verbal altercation quickly escalated. In a shocking turn of events, the man is said to have emptied the prepared food on the ground in front of the schoolchildren, effectively cutting off their only hot meal for the day. The children, many of whom rely heavily on the school feeding programme, were left confused, disappointed, and hungry.
Witnesses described a chaotic scene as teachers and community members looked on in disbelief. Parents, upon hearing what had occurred, rushed to the school fearing for their children’s safety. Many expressed deep frustration that political disagreements were being allowed to interfere with basic services meant to support vulnerable children.
Calls for action have flooded social media platforms, with many demanding the immediate arrest of the man involved and urging authorities to step in. Public outrage continues to mount as citizens condemn the act as inhumane and politically irresponsible.
As of now, the Ghana School Feeding Secretariat and the Akuapem North Municipal Education Directorate have not issued official statements on the incident. However, pressure is mounting for them to take swift action to prevent a recurrence and to protect the integrity of the school feeding initiative.
