"The Management of the National Service Scheme is asking national service personnel and the general public to disregard news making rounds that National Service Personnel Allowances have been increased from GH¢350.00 to GH¢430.00, " a statement signed by the Deputy Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Gifty Oware-Aboagye, said.

"The Scheme will therefore, in due course, communicate officially to the general public and our cherished service personnel on the outcome of our engagements with Parliament over our budget and increment in personnel allowances specifically," according to the statement.

On Friday, reports emerged on social media that the allowance has been increased from GHS350 to GHS430 instead of GHS599 approved at the twilight of the Mahama administration.
