Former beneficiaries of the now-defunct Nation Builders Corp (NABCO) have appealed to the government to pay off their final 8 months salary arrears.
Former president of the NABCO Association of Ghana and now the National President of SPARTANS of the New Patriotic Party, Denis Opoku Katakyie in an interview with Ohene Kinnah on Plan B FM’s late afternoon show ‘Ebaanosen’ confirmed that the Government has paid beneficiary allowances for November and December 2021.
He called on government to settle the remaining eight months salary arrears.
“Though l am the National President for the SPARTANS of NPP, seeking support to break the 8 doesn’t mean i should keep quiet about the government’s inability to pay us the 8 months’ salary arrears, we have worked for it and we deserve it”, Okatakyie added.
According to him, the beneficiaries are currently “jobless with broken homes and are finding it difficult to feed” themselves and are unable to access healthcare.
“As a result of this unfair treatment, NABCO trainees in Sekyere Kumawu District have taken a decision not to vote on 23rd May 2023, because they are not of sound mind unless there is a favorable change in their economic-wellbeing of their current deplorable conditions,” a statement issued by NABCO signed by its Convener David Peterson noted.
It further appealed to government to pay beneficiaries their arrears.
The people of Kumawu will tomorrow, Tuesday, 23 May 2023, go to the polls to elect a new Member of Parliament (MP).
