Allowances: We give you a week to provide us tangible reasons, face us in court - NSP to NSS
13.07.2018 LISTEN

The Concerned National Service Personnel (CNSP) has given the National Service Secretariat (NSS) a week ultimatum to provide them tangible reasons for deducting GHC15 from their allowances without their knowledge.

In a petition issued to the Secretariat on Thursday, July 12, 2018, signed by their Convenor, Joel S. Ndede and sighted by ModernGhana indicated "We the Concerned National Service Personnel (CNSP), do hereby petition National Service Secretariat (NSS), through your high office, to furnish us reasons why an amount of Gh15 was deducted from our mandatory national service allowance of Gh559.04, resulting in payment of GH544.04 as allowance for June, 2018, without giving us any prior notice".

The statement has given the Secretariat seven days ultimatum to repeal its decision else the Concerned Personnel will file a lawsuit against the Secretariat.

The Nation Service Personnel are very determined and well prepared to take any appropriate legal steps if NSS fails to provide us tangible reasons for such unlawful deduction after 7 days ultimatum.

Below is the full statement
THE NATIONAL SERVICE SECRETARIAT (NSS)
P.O.BOX 46, ACCRA
DATE: THURSDAY, 12TH JULY, 2018
PETITION BY CONCERNED NATIONAL SERVICE PERSONNEL (CNSP)

WE DEMAND THE NATIONAL SERVICE SECRETARIAT AN ULTIMATUM OF 7 DAYS TO PROVIDE US TANGIBLE REASONS FOR ILLEGAL DEDUCTION OF GHC15 FROM OUR ALLOWANCES

We the undersigned, for and on behalf of Concerned National Service Personnel (CNSP), do hereby petition National Service Secretariat (NSS), through your high office, to furnish us reasons why an amount of Gh15 was deducted from our mandatory national service allowance of Gh559.04, resulting in payment of GH544.04 as allowance for June, 2018, without giving us any prior notice.

We, the Concerned National Service Personnel, consider this deduction as unlawful, unfair, fraudulent and illegal with intention to steal us our national service allowance since such deduction is not grounded in any law or constitution or Act and for that reason, it is a deliberate act of extorting monies and robbing innocent and poor national service personnel who are struggling to survive under the high cost of living in this country, which is subject to criminal offence under section 124 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (ACT 29).

The statement therefore described the move by NSS as unlawful and as a means of extorting monies from them.

The Nation Service Personnel are very determined and well prepared to take any appropriate legal steps if NSS fails to provide us tangible reasons for such unlawful deduction after 7 days ultimatum.

We believe that this petition will be useful to you and will help clear the mess.

Humbly submitted.
Signed!
