Gyamfi confirmed that discussions on the matter are actively taking place at the highest level of government. "The current allowance (GHC715), I must say, is inadequate.
Discussions with the government are ongoing to adjust the GHC715 stipend to a more sustainable figure that can cushion our (Service Personnel) in these challenging times," he stated.
Additionally, he directed District Managers of the Authority to prioritize the welfare of service personnel, particularly regarding their security and living conditions.
