Press Release NSS Personnel Warns Mahama's NDC Government To Pay July August Allowance Or Face Their Wrath
AUG 28, 2015 LISTEN

Act 1980 (Act462) established the Ghana National Service Scheme which requires every graduate from the various tertiary institutions in the country to render a full-year dedicated service to mother Ghana. Personnel employed under this article are not paid salary rather, they received monthly allowance which is pegged at GH¢350 per month.

It is very disheartening that the Mahama led NDC government is feeling reluctant to pay us our allowances for the month of July and August. Due to our entitlement to a month leave, the government was supposed to pay us two month allowance at the end of July. The Mahama led government hasn't paid us the allowance of July to think of August.

Live has become very difficult for us after ending the service. There are no jobs and we are depending on our parents for a living. The government has putting embargo on employment hence, we don't know our left and right as it stands now. The public sector is not employing and the private sector is laying off workers due to economic hardship as a result of the negligence of Mahama led administration. Even those with working experience are being laid off, how much more those of us without working experience?

Though, some of us are not surprised about the escalating rate of graduate unemployed, we don't expect the government to withhold our entitlement.

It is very annoying to hear government communicators claiming that the Mahama led government think about the youth.

How can a government which think about the youth sit for youth unemployment to escalate?

How can a government which think about the youth collapse NYEP?

How can a government which think about the youth freezes employment just to render the youth desolate and destitute?

A government which think about the youth wouldn't escalate national debt from GH¢9.5B to over GH¢90B in less than six years without knowing what the money was used for.

The Mahama led government is creating a mess for future generation to bear the consequence.

Live has become unbearable for the youth particularly, the Polytechnic and University graduates.

Live has become unbearable for our brothers and sisters in the Teacher Training Colleges due to the scrapping off teacher training allowance.

Why must the government freeze employment?
Is the government telling us that our parents suffered to pay our fees just for us to graduate and come home to depend on them?

A government that can't utilize its human resource is incompetent to develop the nation.

We are highly disappointed in the Mahama led NDC government.

How can a generational thinking government subject the youth to this pain?

We join cues to vote for political parties to come to power to use the available natural resources endowed by the state judiciously to solve our problems.

Propaganda and continuous words of promises wouldn't solve the problems confronting the citizenry.

Educational performance keep dwindling under Mahama's led government.

The health status of the nation keep worsening due to the collapse of National Health Insurance.

Agricultural productivity particularly Cocoa keep sinking due to the collapse of Mass Cocoa Spraying.

Ghanaians, particularly the youth must advise themselves in the coming 2016 election. As educated beings, we must not sit idle for the propagandists to keep throwing dust onto the eyes of Ghanaians.

Let us join hands to vote for a party ready to listen to our plies and ready to adhere to all possible means to combat them.

It is time to say NO to "yen tie obiaa" government.

We have come to realize that nothing pushes this insensitive government except positive actions.

The government must pay us as soon as possible else we will mobilize and camp ourselves at the entrance of Flagstaff House.

Mahama's government must take us serious.
Our allowance have been in the pipeline for long and it is time to force it out.

The government keep dashing out cars and for that matter, the government have no excuse to tell us their usual jargon "There is no money".

Pay us our allowance.
We are entitled to it.
A hungry man is an angry man.
Signed.
