The Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo has rescinded her decision after sacking the National Coordinator of the School Feeding Programme, Mrs Gertrude Quashigah.

She said it was an administrative error.

On Tuesday, May 18, 2021, a letter from the aforementioned Ministry signed by its Minister and addressed to Mrs Gertrude Quashigah noted that her appointment has been terminated.

“This is to inform you of the termination of your appointment as the National Coordinator of the Ghana School Feeding Programme. You will be paid one month’s salary in lieu of notice as stipulated in your contract agreement”, the letter stated.

Three days later, the Minister has backtracked on her decision with a new letter signed by Hon. Adwoa Safo explaining that there was some administrative error leading to the first decision.

“I write in respect to the above subject matter [withdraw] of termination of appointment].

“This is to inform you of my decision to withdraw my earlier letter dated 18th May 2021.

“I wish to state that my earlier letter was as a result of administrative error,” the letter from the Gender Ministry dated May 21, has said.
