It follows introduction of strict
control measures to sanitize operations of the National Service Secretariat.
Officials say activities of
fraudsters; including people who have
completed their
service but still want to hang-on is a major challenge.
Thirteen thousand, 400 service
personnel, representing 18.5 of the national figure of 72, 068 were posted to
the Ashanti Region for the 2014/15 service period.
Regional Coordinator, JenniferAppiah Bempah, tells Nhyira/Luv News the service is collaborating with security
agencies to flush out unqualified persons.
Mrs. Appiah Bempah indicates more of
such personnel will be expelled as the service intensifies bio-dataregistration under the E-zwich system.
“We collaborated with the BNI; we
got most of them. For those that we were able to apprehend, yes we dealt with
them. [It’s] very common in the region. We started from September. Last
year December we took more than hundred out but now we’ve identified solution
to it and that is the bio-data. Now if you are a new person that is coming to
National Service and you know you have done it before, you have your data so
please go and find something to do. We are warming them”. Mrs Bempah revealed
She said all offenders will forfeit
their allowances and made to face prosecution as some personnel who have
completed their service still want to hang on because of economic hardships.
“People who are not necessarily
national service people who want to budoze their way into the national service
arena and also because of lack of jobs in the country, people who have
completed service still want to continuously be in the domain”. Mrs Bempah has
said
Mrs. Appiah Bempah spoke after a
handing over of a conference hall and Volume Management Center for the
service’s regional office at Adum in Kumasi.
It was built by Virtue Link, an MTN
agent, at a cost of Gh¢ 16,000, and will provide customers at Adum the
opportunity to access all MTN services.
