Despite rising prices for goods and services, transportation costs, and a high standard of life, national service personnel will continue to earn a GH559.04 allowance.
This was revealed when Osei Assibey Antwi, Executive Director of the National Service Scheme (NSS), went on a tour of NSS validation centers prior to their deployment.
He stated that the administration was working to provide service personnel with a Cost of Living Allowance (COLA).
“Like Oliver Twist, he will always ask for more. So if you ask me, Oliver is always asking and we are hopeful that the President will do something about them.
“Recently, the President gave workers COLA and once the President has started this, it will also get to their turn,” he told the media.
