"It is not true that mackerel replaced eggs in the National Approved Menu, thereby affecting local poultry farmers," he explained. Kofi Asare had alleged that NAFCO had contracted a company by name Lamens Ventures to "supply imported Chinese mackerel to all SHS in Ghana." "There has not been any policy that compels SHS not to buy eggs. The mackerel and eggs are not mutually exclusive. Schools can buy eggs if they so wish, in addition to the mackerel supplied by NAFCO," he explained.
