Increase the tempo of agitation to get your allowances paid – Brogya Genfi charges Trainees

The former Ashanti Regional Youth Organizer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Mr Brogya Genfi is urging the Nursing and the Teacher Trainees to increase the tempo of agitation to get their allowances owe by the government of Ghana.

According to the Aspiring National Youth Organizer for the NDC the failure of the government to honor their promise of paying allowances as promised is spiraling out of control.

During the 2016 elections campaign, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) led by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Dr Mahamadu Bawumia promised to pay the allowances of the Nursing and Teacher Trainees in the country but unfortunately after the elections the government have turn deaf ears to the plight of the students.

The government is now owing the Teacher Trainees by five (5) months and Mr Genfi is urging them to increase their agitation for the government to settle the debt as promised during the 2016 campaign.

In a post sighted by Ghanatodayonline.com Mr Genfi said the Trainees like many Ghanaians are reeling under excruciating hardships. No money for food, stationery, payment of fees and general upkeep as parents and benefactors who support these Trainees have been worst hit by the current economic crisis.

He urged the government to pay them as early as possible.

“The Trainees are therefore encouraged to increase the tempo of agitations on various campuses to get government to listen by paying the huge arrears of the allowances.

The government should use the same speed it uses to pay appointees’ fat salaries and allowances to pay these Teacher and Nursing Trainees their meager allowances”

INCREASE THE TEMPO OF AGITATION TO GET YOUR ALLOWANCES PAID – BROGYA GENFI CHARGES TRAINEES

It does appear that this government’s failure to honor their promise of paying allowances due Teacher and Nursing Trainees is spiraling out of control.

It’s been almost a year since Nursing Trainees received their allowances while Teachers Trainees are owed five (5) months of unpaid allowance – which was a major election campaign tool for President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Alhaji Mamoud Bawumia.

The Trainees like many Ghanaians are reeling under excruciating hardships. No money for food, stationery, payment of fees and general upkeep as parents and benefactors who support these Trainees have been worst hit by the current economic crisis.

The President and his vice have refused to pay heed to all efforts by the Trainees to get the allowances paid.

It’s becoming obvious government is intentionally frustrating these Teacher and Nursing Trainees.

The Trainees are therefore encouraged to increase the tempo of agitations on various campuses to get government to listen by paying the huge arrears of the allowances.

The government should use the same speed it uses to pay appointees’ fat salaries and allowances to pay these Teacher and Nursing Trainees their meager allowances.
