Tensions are escalating within the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Tano North Constituency as internal disputes among party executives threaten the smooth running of the School Feeding Programme contracts.

The row, playing out publicly in the communities of Bomaa, Bredi, and Boukrukruwa, centres on disagreements over the selection of caterers and growing accusations of bias in awarding contracts.

The conflict has exposed a power struggle between two rival camps—one aligned with the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) and the other loyal to the Constituency Chairman.

Both sides stand accused of manipulating the process to favour their preferred candidates, fueling confusion, resentment, and delays in meal delivery to schoolchildren.

Programme disrupted by political infighting

As the disagreement festers, several schools in the affected communities are grappling with inconsistent food supply.

School authorities and residents report that the political tug-of-war is disrupting the intended purpose of the School Feeding Programme, which was introduced to support children’s nutrition and improve attendance rates.

According to local sources, some schools have gone days without receiving meals, leaving pupils hungry and affecting their classroom performance.

“The children come to school expecting a meal, and when it doesn’t come, they become distracted or go home,” a concerned teacher in Boukrukruwa said.

Community calls for swift intervention

The ongoing standoff has sparked outrage among community members, who fear that political interests are being prioritised over the welfare of children.

Stakeholders—including parent associations and traditional leaders—are urging the regional hierarchy of the NDC to step in and resolve the matter before it further erodes confidence in the party’s local leadership.

“There is too much division and interference,” said a parent in Bomaa. “We need peace and proper coordination so the children can benefit.”

With the 2024 elections looming and the School Feeding Programme regarded as a critical social intervention, the NDC faces mounting pressure to restore order in Tano North and ensure that vital public services are insulated from internal political rivalry.
