The executive secretary of the National Identification Authority (NIA), Professor Kenneth Agyemang Attafuah refuted claims suggesting the authority is deliberately denying some staff their allowances and entitlement due them.
Some workers of the NIA had written to the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and the Speaker of Parliament over what they describe as attempt to deny them some allowances.
Speaking on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Monday, Attafuah said the staff were misled by some terms in the NIA condition of service which has been overridden by the Single Spine Salary Structure.
“You’ve got one or two people who have just studied Bachelor of Law (LLB) and not being patient with the law nor taken their time to appreciate the nexus between the conditions of NIA as they exist and the impact of the Single Spine Salary Structure on NIA’s condition of service and then assuming without being told by anyone in authority that there was no conditios of service at NIA,” he said.
Attafuah added, “They had no basis, not a single right of any staff had been compromised, not a single allowance or entitlement had been denied. There have been a couple of instances where payment of Christmas bonus to a dozen people had been delayed.”
