Nana Boakye, Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Scheme (NSS), has asked those opposed to the recently announced insurance package for service personnel to consider the many merits which come with it.
Speaking to DAILY GUIDE on phone, he said that the GH¢15 to be paid monthly would cover the insurance policy, media and communication package and a loan package, which would enable service personnel to avail themselves of the loan facility.
“It is a great value for money policy which we must all embrace because after all it is in the interest of the service personnel,” he said.
In case of death while serving, the next of kin of personnel would be entitled to GH¢15,000, adding that in case of permanent disability the victims would draw an equal amount of money, courtesy the insurance package. In case of temporary disability however victims would draw GH¢3,000.
Under the loan arrangement, he said personnel would be entitled to a loan facility of GH¢500 or more payable within six months.
An entertainment segment of the package, he explained, would entitle personnel to watch two movies at Silver Bird, which according to him, would ordinarily attract GH¢15 or more.
Regarding the media and telecommunications dividends, he pointed out that beneficiaries would be entitled to an unlimited data whatSap, facebook, twitter and others, besides an ordinary 500MB of data monthly for GH¢5 and a monthly airtime of same value.
Nana Boakye, aka Nana B, added that MTN airtime bought by NSS personnel would be doubled and so as he put it ‘the media package translates to GH¢40.
On the average, it is believed that most personnel buy approximately GH¢50 worth of data and airtime monthly,” he explained.
The NSS insurance policy for personnel attracted varied interpretations from stakeholders when it made the headlines.

May God Forgive you and your bosses! Why this day robbery on these poor innocent personnel.
This infant lawyer and his crooks think they are smart. Ghanaians have seen all the tricks you guys want to play on the Nation Service guys.You guys want to reap where you have sown. Fire Burn you! Fiafio.
He is opening up for us to disrespect him..we are not interested. ....simple.....even if he goes to Mars and come back we will not subject ourselves to this insurance
It tis all a scam. The service personnel say they don't like it; period. Why force it deep down their throats? I don't get it. The whole concept smacks of fraud in a broad day light. Nana B and his bosses should go to hell with this bogus scheme. The scheme is all about ripping the poor service personnel of their monies under the guise of entering into some form of an insurance scheme for them. This Party.
Look ar his face like rotten fufu aiming to cheat these young NSP. Shame to you and your perpetrators.
What if nothing happens by the end of the service year? Is it your idea or the service personnel made the request for your help? What about NHIS card? How many service personnel go to SilverBird a week to watch movies? What about those who have their service outside Accra? Allow these people to understand the issues very well, then vote and see whether they like this policy before you implement it.
