Okudzeto Ablakwa Calls On Government To Clear National Service Arrears

Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has chastised the government over delayed National Service allowances.

National service personnel have apparently not been paid for the past two months and considering the the current economic hardship with the regular surges in fuel prices and transportation, it has become extra hard and unbearable for these personnel to work comfortably.

The Minister, taking to his Facebook page wrote, “I would have thought government would, in the face of prevailing harsh economic circumstances, be increasing the current measly allowances and not delay payment once again. How does government expect these vulnerable personnel , most of whom have been posted far way from home, to survive under the current cost of living crisis?

“As I appealed the last time, I had to donate my salaries to personnel in my beloved constituency, government should first pay personnel at the end of the month before paying public sector workers as has always been the tradition for decades…”

He went on to call on the government to clear all arrears immediately to make work comfortable enough for Service Personnel.
