National Service Personnel (NSP) across the country have called on the government to intervene over what they describe as unfair deductions from their monthly allowances.

The concern follows an initiative involving Zues Skills Training, under which GH¢60 is deducted from each service person's monthly allowance for three consecutive months, amounting to GH¢180 in total.

Some personnel have questioned the basis for the deductions and are asking the National Service authorities to clarify their role in the initiative.

"We don't understand why this amount has be deducted from our account, the money is even small and it doesn't come early, it delays like two or three months before one month salary will be paid and you're taking Ghc60 from it," some expressed.

The personnel further argued that the deductions reduce an already limited monthly allowance of GH¢650.

Personnel serving across the country, particularly in Greater Accra, say the situation is difficult because of the high cost of living.

They explained that a significant portion of their allowance goes towards rent, transport, utility bills and other essential expenses, making it hard to meet daily needs.

They also expressed concern over delays in the payment of their monthly allowances, saying the combination of late payments and deductions is placing many service personnel under financial strain.

The affected personnel are therefore appealing to the government to investigate the deductions, ensure transparency in the arrangement and take steps to address their concerns.
