The National Association of Institutional Suppliers is set to stage a protest outside the Ministry of Education on March 4, 2024.
This decision comes after the association has expressed frustration over the ministry’s neglect in awarding contracts and clearing outstanding debts totaling over GH¢100 million.
The association has voiced their disappointment with the government’s failure to make payments for supplied uniforms, house dresses, and other essential items to several senior high schools over the past two academic years.
During a media briefing, spokesperson Emmanuel Ayibor emphasized the association’s determination to pursue all available options until their concerns are addressed.
He stated, “The price quota is low for us, as we have indicated in our press conference, and we are also asking the government to reconsider giving the supply of PE kits and uniforms and stationery back to the schools.
So, we are by this stating that if the government does not listen to us, we are going to picket on March 4 at the Ministry of Education, and we have notified the police.”
The association has indicated that they have engaged extensively with the government on these challenges with no response so far. They are taking a firm stance to ensure that their grievances are addressed.
