NURSES ALLOWANCE PAID ON TABLE....KOMFO ANOKYE NURSING AND MIDWIFERY TRAINING COLLEGE ALLOWANCE WITHHELD.

We are reliably informed that Nursing Trainee Allowances which was scrabbled and lately the Government promised to restore due to what people think is to win political points is said to be paid on table instead of the usual banking system.

Student Nurses are in queue for their three months arrears of the allowance which is around GHC 450.00. News men going round spoke to some student nurses about the payment and most of them agreeably linked it to the election season which they stated that, whether paid or unpaid they are trusting the NPP with their vote of the message that, they will restore their allowances fully when they are voted into power.

Some of them also said they are happy at least this will relief their parents from their monthly campus expenses.

We got to know that most of the Nursing Training Colleges are on vacation or what they call 'Off Campus Clinical ) but authorities have called all students back to campus to receive their share of the allowance (alawa).

On our tour, we got to Komfo Anokye Nursing and Midwifery Training College where we heard most student agitating that they have been denied hold of their Allowance.

Further probe got us a hint that, their 'Allawa'' have been withheld following an incident which happened during a visit of the Chief of Staff, Hon. Julius Debrah.

Mr Julius Debrah was said to have been hooted by some of the students who explained that they were informed by authorities that the Chief of Staff was going to address them on issues concerning the college but later turned the meeting to political campaign platform.

Some of the furious student started shouting that they came there to get their issue addressed not campaign promises.

Following this said incident, the school have been denied the ongoing disbursement of the allowances. This is said to be a punishment for the school and again some of the authorities are said to be called to other.

We spoke to some of the authorities who indicated that, what happened was like filming a live program, editing will be difficult, students started shouting on the count that, they were not told about political campaign which the Chief Of Staff drove to.

The school have been told to write an appology letter stating their regret.

On this we asked, are allowances paid on these counts?

Has governance turned to Mother and Child affair where mother starve her child for her so called disrespect?
