This is due to non-performance of the suppliers, the Chief Operations Officer of the Company, Arnold Kojo Ackah has told Citi News. We agreed that anytime the Buffer Stock has the evidence to abrogate a contract, we should give the option to the heads of the schools,” Mr. Ackah explained. “As we speak, we have abrogated 50 contracts out of the over 410 contracts – the reason being that they were not able to supply on time. Some items can delay but not food contracts.”The Government engaged the Buffer Stock Company to buy food produced locally for supply to the various senior high schools in the country.
