The Ministry of Finance has approved an increase in the allowances of National Service personnel from GH¢350 to GH¢559.04.
A letter signed by the Chief Director of the Ministry, Mr Patrick Nomo on behalf of the Minister and dated December 19, 2016 said, “Approval is hereby given for the National Service personnel allowance to be adjusted as follows: Current rate - GH¢350 Approved rate - GH¢559.04.”
The approved rate translates to 40 per cent of the graduate entry level on the 2017 Single Spine Salary Structure.
The adjustment is expected to take effect from January 1, 2017.

IN response to the adjustment in the allowances of the National Service Persons, I recommend that the incoming government should maintain the allowances but reduce the number of months of service period from nine (9) months to six (six) months to contain the overall budgetary implications of this last hour adjustment.
Its good news for our junior brothers and sisters in school but there is no money coz teacher trainees feeding fees giving by Govt cheque has bounced. Please check and see that cheques are bouncing already.

John Mahama die die die die die....may cancer kill you...may gonorrhea kill you....may a sniper kill you....evil man...u will enjoy your Dubai goodies in your sick bed...ffffoooolish man !!!
The lil respect for mahama is wash off by this Hippocratical tin he is doing. Little did I knw that he was a gentleman not knowing he is the most ***barred word*** person I hv ever come across. I just finished ma national service with toil.we're complaining but u never listened to our plight. Now that ur time is over, u with evil intention hv swelling up the amount. May u diie with ur evil intention. Amen. .stupiiid ***barred word*** president ever
Mahama is just Fffffoool....u haven't paid teachers arrears for a year now...u haven't paid nurses allowance and yet you have the nerves to increase nss allowance just two weeks to exit...he should bow his Fulani face in shame....he will never rule Ghana again in his life time.....mammal !!!
If u think the increment is too much.....tell any of ur relative due for national service not to take the allowance.......because its to the detrimental to the nation's coffers.
As Ghanaians we voted for improvement in our livelihood. What's wrong if the outgoing government also accepts the request of Ghanaians and begins the same improvements that NPP intends to start. What is the tying of hands in this. Or were the NPP lying to Ghanaians? I don't see anything wrong. NPP can even double this amount for NSS when they take over.
Mahama you will die like gadafi...$tupid incompetent man....God punish you.
I think the 40% is per the graduate entry level value per the single spine figures(which was not given). Hence, calculating this rate using the current NSS value of 390 does not make sense. Correct me if am wrong! Regardless, I think the fear of God has deluded Mahama. Either he is a hypocrite and pretended to be God-fearing or he is just incompetent.
