A group calling itself, Concerned National Service Personnel (NSP) has called on government to pay personnels across the country, their two months’ allowance arrears.
This follows the delay in payment of the National Service allowances.
According to the group, it is the mandate of the National Service Scheme (NSS) to ensure that priority sectors in the country do not lack in the requisite human resources needed for development, however, this is hampered in a way when “personnel mandated to augment the necessary sectors are hungry and have no transport fare to commute to work.”
A statement issued by the group on Monday, 1 March 2022 noted that: “Personnel poised to serve the nation as part of their civic responsibility have been deprived of their two months’ payment unnecessarily with no prior information in that regard.”
It registered its displeasure with the delay with the ‘allawa’ is processed and its meagre worth.”
It further called on “all discerning and well- meaning NSPS to join” in the quest to press home their demand.
The statement continued that: “It is readily apparent the only language that is understood is a “strike action” but we hope it doesn’t get to that.”
It added: “If our remuneration can’t be increased, it should be paid on time.”
