The Deputy National Service Director in charge of Operations, Henry Nana Boakye says the secretariat is putting in measures to pay the allowances of service personnel.
According to him, the secretariat is carrying out an audit to ensure that payment is done according and also erase the pay roll of Ghost names hence the delay in payment of the service allowance.
National Service personnel across the country have for the past two (2) months not received their allowances.
The government approved the amount of GHc 559 to be paid as monthly allowance to National Service personnel.
Payments of the upward adjustment started from April 1, management of the National Service Secretariat said.
Acting NSS Executive Director, Ussif Mustapha, in a statement thanked President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for the approval.
The NSS allowance was increased by President John Mahama in his last days in office.
But speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, Henry Nana Boakye explained that they understand the conditions of the service personnel.
"We are however pleading with them to bear with us as we will soon release the payment of the allowances", he added.
Nana Boakye also added that the enrollment of service Personnel this year alone increased and that the secretariat must be able to work out the payment for all the enrolled.
"They should bear with us we will soon pay them", he reiterated.

and they want they are talking about insurance. Ghanaians are so corrupt that they do it even in the kitchen. I remember in 2010, they forced all personnel to open bank account at UBA because they were bribed to do so. this is bad. People have conscience. They know what is good for them. Nobody needs insurance for anything.
Really wasted my time and votes. Its 24TH OCTOBER today but is not soon enough as they say. If you are unable to show up to work then wahala. Trekking from Lapaz to Korle Bu is not easy.
I hope they pay all of the money when they are doing the payment no outstanding biaa ooo yooo
this is an absurd excuse! u should have checked all these errors before service for the year even starts! oh ghana 3nti dab3n!
Hmmm We are waiting! Just hoping for the best. Pray national service will not become national suffering. God help Ghana.
We are really suffering. It's not easy for us. Transportation alone is killing us. Now when it hits morning then we are afraid. How to eat and pay transportation and remain composed at office too.. I mean it's serious. Just pay us period.
I THINK WE SHOULD EXERCISE PATIENCE AS THEY WORK ON THESE ALLOWANCES.THOUGH IT HAS KEPT LONG BUT I THINK THE NECESSARY MEASURES ARE TO BE PUT IN PLACE TO ERADICATE THIS ERRORS. NSS - SERVICE TO THE NATION
***barred word*** people, have u been paid or not. But you can pay Nurses ***barred word*** government ***barred word*** subordinates. God will surely punish you all in your own coins.
Azaah nkoaa! If you lie once, you need to find other 1000 lies to cover you back. Truth is only ONE and it Stands!
You don't have money so come out and tell them to wait till money is available and stop giving this ghost names excuses. The ghosts are fed up, next month you will have to find another excuse for the delay. How long will you be cleaning the pay roll?
