This directive comes after a headcount of active National Service personnel, which was ordered by the Minister for Finance as a prerequisite for the clearance of allowance arrears dating back to August 2024. The headcount revealed that 98,145 actual National Service personnel were entitled to the allowances, significantly lower than the 180,030 names previously presented by the former management of the Authority for payment. Consequently, the Ministry of Finance has released GHS 226,019,224 to cover the allowance payment arrears for the verified personnel. *From source briefed 🛑 (FSB)*
