Management of the National Service Scheme (NSS) has secured government approval to increase the monthly allowance of national service personnel from Ghc559.04 to Ghc715.57.
In a release dated July 23, 2023 and signed by the corporate director, Ambrose Entsiwah Jnr., disclosed that all personnel in active service shall receive arrears on their allowances effective January 2023.
“In effect, all National Service Personnel who are currently in active service are entitled to arrears for the difference in the upward adjustment from January, 2023, and would be paid accordingly”, the release stated.
The scheme, however, noted that the new development has been assented by the Finance Ministry with further directives to the Controller and Accountant-General.
“The approval, which was contained in a letter dated 18th July, 2023 and signed by the Deputy Minister for Finance, Hon. Abena Osei-Asare (MP), was as a result of series of engagements between National Service Scheme, Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, and the Ministry of Finance.
“The letter also directed The Controller and Accountant-General to give effect to the new levels of the personnel allowances”, the release added.
NSS personnel have, therefore, been entreated to exercise patience as the scheme works for the reflective of the new development.
