Ramp Up Tempo Of Agitations! — Brogya Genfi Charges Teacher & Nursing Trainnees

Ato Keelson, an aspiring National Youth Organiser of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Brogya Genfi, has charged teacher and nursuring trainees in the country to ramp up the tempo of their agitations.

He said it was sad that the government has ‘failed’ to honor tts promise of paying allowances due teacher and nursing trainees, a situation he added was spiraling out of control.
The NDC national youth aspirant made the charge an article dated September 5, 2022.

“It’s been almost a year since nursing trainees received their allowances while teacher 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,” he noted.

According to Mr. Genfi, these trainees were reeling under very excruciating hardships under the current administration.

“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 lamented.
He stressed that both President Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia 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.”

In this regard, he urged the trainees 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,” he averred.
