The National Service Authority Staff Union (NASASU) has condemned what it described as an attempt by political party foot soldiers to hijack the operations of the National Service Authority (NSA).
In a strongly worded statement dated April 11, 2025, and signed by NASASU Chairman, Ayirebi Adubofour, the union decried a growing political interference in the authority’s internal affairs, especially, regarding staff recruitments and transfers.
The union cautioned against the practice, stressing that such interference undermines democratic principles, erodes public trust, and compromises the integrity of state institutions.
“We strongly condemn the practice of political party foot soldiers attempting to hijack the National Service Authority. This phenomenon undermines the principle of democracy, erodes public trust, and compromises the integrity of our institutions,” the statement said in part.
The union emphasised that all recruitments and internal transfers are governed by the National Service Authority Act 2024 (Act 1119), the Public Services Commission Act 1994 (Act 482), and Article 195 of the 1992 Constitution.
The union has, consequently, urged the youth of the Western Region, where tensions have reportedly arisen, to exercise restraint and allow the management of the authority to function within the confines of the law.
