Trainees under the Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) have served notice that until government settles their unpaid allowances, the implementation of the YouStart programme should be halted.
The president of NABCO Trainees Association of Ghana (NABTAG)’ Dennis katakyie in an interview with Ohene Addo on Plan B Fm’s ‘Ebaanosen’ stated that government cannot roll out another policy when their eight-month allowances are still in arrears.
He lamented that the harsh economic crisis the country was currently faced with adding that the non-payment of allowances has left them to struggle for a living.
“It does not send the right signal when you have not paid NABCO trainees for the past eight (8) months, which has plunged them into severe hardship but readying for the launch of YouStart. What positive assurance can that serve to inform the public on the outlook of the youstart”
“We humbly implore GES to consummate its processes in offering permanent appointments to Educate Ghana Trainees. The data collection exercise has been hanging on for far too long with no positive outcome. Information reaching [us] indicates that Ghana Revenue Authority is provisionally cushioning its trainees. We hope that the step taken will culminate in permanently placing them”. He said.
He added that they don’t want to be ingrates hence their chosen style of communication is letters,
“we are over 67,000 trainees if we should hit the street to demonstrate you can imagine “
