A committee has been formed to investigate claims of mismanagement in the Food for Assets project of the World Food Program.

There were reports that not all the food rations meant for the vulnerable group in Northern Bhar al-Ghazal State reached them.

WFP in collaboration with the State Agriculture Ministry conducted a one-day workshop for a technical committee, which will have the responsibility of finding out if there was corruption or inefficiency during the distribution.

The director general at State Agriculture Ministry, Joseph Garang, Garang, says the training was necessary so that the committee can report accurately.

He says the government will take the action if the committee finds evidence of wrong-doing or mismanagement.
