The National Service Secretariat (NSS) has disclosed that arrears of allowance for January have been paid into the accounts of Service Personnel as of Tuesday, March 22, 2022.
.
This comes after some National Service personnel called on the scheme’s managers to pay their allowances that have been in arrears for two months.
.
“Management had said that the January allowance was going to be paid.
Because of the work that we have put in, the January allowances were paid, and it reflected in the personnel’s E-zwich accounts yesterday [Tuesday].
So I can confirm to you that, the January allowances of all service personnel who had duly submitted endorsed appraisal forms at the district and regional offices have been paid,” Public Relations Officer for NSS, Armstrong Esaah told Citi News.
National Service Personnel in the country have over the weeks been lamenting the hardship they are going through as they have not been paid their allowances.
They have demanded that an increase be put on the GH¢559 as it is inadequate, but even if their demand will not be granted, the allowance should not be delayed to cushion them in this current economic hardship in the country.
