Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has chastised the government over the delayed payment of allowances due to National Service Personnel.

His comments follow the government’s inability to pay service personnel in the public sector a monthly allowance of GH₵715 since November 2023.

The personnel say life has become hard, and they are considering embarking on a strike to press home their demand for these allowances.

According to Mr Mahama, the allowances were not much; therefore, he could not understand how the government has failed to remunerate these individuals serving the country.
