All national service personnel have been told to be patient as the necessary administrative processes are being concluded to ensure that their arrears following the upward adjustment in their allowance are paid to them.
This was after the government approved an upward adjustment of the monthly allowance for the personnel from GHS559 to GHS715.
The Ministry of Finance has therefore directed the controller and accountant general to give effect to the new levels of personnel allowance.
“In effect, all national service personnel who are currently in active service are entitled in arrears for the difference in the upward adjustment from January 2023 and would be paid accordingly,” a statement issued by the National Service Secretariat said.
The statement stressed, “Management, therefore, urges all national service personnel to exercise patience as the necessary administrative processes are being concluded to have all the arrears paid.”
