Management NSS expresses worry over individuals collecting money from prospective National Services personnel

Management of the National Service Scheme has  expressed worry over information that certain individuals  are collecting  money from prospective National Service Personnel with the promise of getting  them posted to their preferred places for the 2015/2016 national service.

A statement issued in Accra signed by the acting Executive Director, Dr. Michael Kpessa - Whyte notes  that the Scheme does not have any policy that requires prospective National Service Personnel to pay money for posting  to specific user agencies or regions.

According to the statement, the primary placement  orientation  of  the  scheme is to deploy personnel to serve  the  state in areas, agencies and places with the view to enabling them to contribute to the government’s transformational agenda in a manner that  engenders love for country while exposing National Service Personnel to  the diversity of the country.

The  statement  therefore  warns  the  perpetrators,  to desist from such acts. It urges  prospective service  personnel  and the public  not only  to be  vigilant , but   also     report  to   Management   of   the  Scheme  or  to  the  nearest Police  station,  anybody  who  may approach them  with such demands.
