The Controlled Food Suppliers Association (CFSA) announced a five‑day demonstration at the Ghana Commodity Exchange (GCX) in Accra, scheduled for 16‑20 November 2026, to press for payment of outstanding debts owed for food items supplied under the 2024 Free Senior High School (Free SHS) programme.
Background
In a formal notice to GCX management, the association said repeated attempts to secure payment had failed, leaving members frustrated by prolonged delays. The notice, signed by Administrative Secretary Cornelius Korku Logo, said the association had given GCX a two‑week ultimatum on 7 October 2026, which expired on 21 October without settlement.
“The leadership of the Association has at all times acted in utmost good faith in demanding monies legitimately owed to its members. However, the prolonged delay in the payments in spite of the persistent follow‑ups, and the apparent decision by GCX to disregard the Association’s two weeks’ notice given on 7th October 2026, which lapsed on 21st October 2026, has compelled the Association to take this rather difficult but reasonably necessary option to demand the settlement of monies owed to its members,”
The planned protest aims to increase pressure on the exchange and relevant authorities to resolve the payment dispute. No further response from GCX has been reported as of the announcement.
