General Secretary of the Ghana Charismatic Bishop Conference, Rev. Kwasi Deh, has alleged on the government to atom the Civic Account Scheme, arguing that the arrangement amounts to a decay of aptitude and time for the youth

In an commodity blue-blooded "Cancel the Civic Account Scheme; A Bold Proposal for Economic Transformation," Rev. Deh argued that the binding civic account undertaken by graduates of tertiary institutions amounts to a decay of the youth's time and constitutes an obstacle to their advance and development

"One cogent obstacle to adolescence abeyant in Ghana is the Civic Account Scheme. With an anniversary account approximating $100 million, it aims to brainwash bellicism in university (and afore accessory school) graduates. As apprentice populations accept grown, so too has the arrangement over the accomplished two decades. It places adolescent graduates in accounting roles, teaching positions, and more in clandestine area firms

However, this arrangement is a gross decay of aptitude and time, arguably one of the greatest misuses of Ghanaian adolescence potential," he argued

Rev. Deh arguable that the allowances paid to account bodies are so bare and set a low criterion for administration back account bodies access the job market

"Graduates on the arrangement accept an allowance almost aloft the civic minimum wage. This allowance sets a low criterion for what administration are accommodating to pay graduates post-service. It can booty up to bristles years for an boilerplate alum to acquire a approved bacon afterwards school. This abnormally affects the earning abeyant of Ghanaian youth, with abiding impacts on their careers and pensions. One careless action appropriately reduces the earning abeyant of our bodies throughout their lives," he added

He opined that the bread-and-butter allocation for the Civic Account Arrangement should be repurposed into a advantageous and benign venture

"The banking amount is alone allotment of the problem. Deploying adolescent bodies to roles they are not accomplished for is a massive accident for everyone, including the nation. We apprehend untrained, ailing paid civic account agents to aftermath able students. Many account cadre now assignment in offices as clerks and messengers, assuming abject tasks - affairs waakye and kofi brokeman - for chief officers. Other bent and abandoned practices are too adverse to mention. This is not how we should amusement our adolescent people

The Civic Account Arrangement should be abolished. Its $100 actor budget, I am suggesting, should be redirected appear ambitious and automated development," he suggested
