Some National Service personnel have expressed great disappointment in the Secretariat’s way of handling their policies of Evaluation/Assessment forms submission in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 crises in the country.

Lots of recruits have gathered at the National Service Secretariat at the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) premises to present their Monthly Evaluation,Assessment Forms to enable them have access to their monthly allowance.

The compliance is a threat to personnel since it breaches the President of Ghana’s ban on public gathering confirmed on March 15, 2020.

“All public gatherings, including conferences, workshops, funerals, festivals, political rallies, sporting events and religious activities, such as services in churches and mosques, have been suspended for the next four (4) weeks. Private burials are permitted, but with limited numbers, not exceeding twenty-five (25) in attendance,” he said.

SoireeNews this morning sighted more than fifty (50) persons in an effort to submit their forms without considering the various measures to prevent the outspread.

National Service Employees were densely populated dialoguing one another in queues as some complained about the approach and the need to halt the process in such a time where life is been endangered.

The Ashanti Regional Police Command on Thursday arrested Apostle Kofi Nkansah Sarkodie for permitted church service at the Open Arms Ministries Church, which was an act of challenge to the country leaders against the ban of public gathering exposing his congregation to the risk of contracting the coronavirus.

According to a few people who were not content with the situation, the authorities have left them no room than to present their evaluation forms within the week or else, forget their monthly payment.

“We were given a week to do the submission. The days are limited and everyone want it done for the sake of payment. From the look of things, it will be very easier to contract the disease cos we are all coming from different locations. The authorities must do something about it because this is very threatening to our lives,” one said.

“This is very poor. Why should this activity be going on in such a time like this. We seem to be taken everything for granted as a nation. If the president has restricted public gathering like this, then there is no need to continue this in the first place. We are here because we have no option. I am just scared,” another uttered.

With no sanitizers and nose masks available per the directives of the President towards the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Electives (MMDCE’s), the danger at the office of the National Service Secretariat is huge.
