The family and children of the late Madam Gertrude Essie Quashigah, former National Coordinator of the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP), have expressed deep disappointment over recent allegations made by Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo regarding supposed mismanagement of the programme during their mother’s tenure.

In a statement signed by Isaac Aidoo, Esq., the family emphasized that Madam Quashigah served with integrity, dedication, and selflessness from 2019 until her passing in 2023, overseeing significant improvements in school nutrition and welfare.

“It is deeply painful that such unfounded and unfortunate accusations are being levelled against our mother at a time when she is no longer present to speak for herself.”

The family also highlighted the long-standing relationship between the Quashigah and Safo families, describing Adwoa Safo’s claims as disheartening and unjustified.

The family concluded by calling on Ghanaians to honour and uphold the legacy of Madam Gertrude Quashigah, a woman who dedicated her life to the welfare of Ghanaian children and national service.
