We do not owe any allowances to service personal - NSS

The National Service Secretariat (NSS) has rebuffed charges that they owe allowances to service people.

All allowances have been paid in full, according to Deputy Executive Director Gifty Oware-Mensah, except May 2022, which is now being processed.

"At this time, the National Service Secretariat owes no allowance to any service personnel."

"April is the month that has just ended, and that allowance has been paid," she told Citi FM in Accra. "If there is anything to be paid, it is that of May, and it is being processed to be paid."

Her remark came after a demonstration by the Coalition of Suffering National Service Personnel on Monday in protest of their unpaid allowances.

The group, dressed in red and holding placards, demands that their three-month salary arrears be paid.

They claim that due to recent price increases in products and services, the delay in payment of their allowance is causing financial hardship.

Madam Mensah, on the other hand, claims that the scheme has never failed to pay allowances once workers have gone through the proper procedures.

"In any of these processes, we have never failed." We don't owe any money in arrears. "I'd want to state unequivocally that NSS owes no one who has completed his or her payment processes," she said.
