PRESS RELEASE

THE MEDIA
NSS HAS NOT PAID GH¢155 INSTEAD OF GH¢715 TO SERVICE PERSONNEL IN THE CENTRAL REGION. ALLEGATIONS ARE FALSE, UNFOUNDED, AND MALICIOUS.

Management of the National Service Scheme has taken notice of an allegation made by the outgoing Tema Metro President of the National Service Personnel Association (NASPA), Hamidu Apandago Mahamadu during a TV3 morning show programme on Thursday, January 25, 2024, that service personnel in the Central Region were paid GH¢155 as allowance instead of the approved GH¢715.57.

He also alleged that the Central Regional Executive, Cape Coast Metro President wrote to Management to address the matter, “but they didn’t get any response to that.” These allegations have since gained wide publications in the media

Management wishes to unequivocally state that service personnel in the Central Region have been paid full monthly allowances and arrears. Management has also not received any letter from the Central Regional Executive on any matter concerning unpaid allowances.

Therefore, the allegations are false, unfounded, and malicious, and must be disregarded with the contempt they deserve.

Management wishes to advise NASPA Executives at all levels to take advantage of the structured channels of communication available to them through their constitution to address issues that are unclear to them and should avoid making wild and unsubstantiated allegations and effusions in the media space.

Management will continue to operate an open-door policy with NASPA and support its activities in the interest of all our cherished and hardworking National Service Personnel.
