Yesterday, a group known as the Coalition of Suffering National Service Personnel marched to the streets of Accra to protest unpaid allowances.
The group, dressed in red and holding banners, demands that their three-month salary arrears be paid.
They claim that due to recent price increases in products and services, the delay in payment of their allowance is creating financial hardship.

Despite the limited attendance, the organizers remained adamant in their pursuit and demand.
The protest began at the Obra Sport in Accra and finished at Parliament House, where a petition was delivered to Speaker Alban Bagbin.
Weachea Awaregya, the Group's President, told JoyNews that the NSS staff want money in order to exist.
He also requested that the NSS grant be evaluated in light of the country's present economic situation.
"We are in pain. We live in a period when everything is challenging. Salary employees are struggling, as are all of us, and we are surviving on a national service stipend of $559, which is insufficient.
He remarked, "Apart from the fact that the money is tiny, it is not being paid on schedule."

Hundreds of National Service members flocked to social media in March to express their dissatisfaction with their underpaid allowances, claiming that the situation has made living difficult.
The National Service Scheme later apologized for the situation and stated that the delay was not intentional. It promised to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week to clear any outstanding debts.
The monthly allowances for March and April 2022 are yet to be issued after being paid for the month of January 2022.

Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, a member of Parliament, has already called on the government to interfere.
Given the present difficult economic conditions, he called the postponement "very unjust and inconsiderate."
