Unpaid Allowance Got Trainee Nurses Agitated

Some trainee nurses at the various Psychiatric Hospitals are agitating over their unpaid allowances.

The over 300 nurses claim they have not received any money since the government restored the allowances in September, and all efforts to get their two-month salary paid have fallen on deaf ears.

According to the trainees, some of their mates received the first payment on September 9, but are yet to receive the second tranche while others are yet to receive the first. Each trainee is supposed to be paid Ghc400 every month after the government announced the restoration of the allowance in September.

“It is really affecting us, because we are all students and assuming some have received theirs and we have not received ours, even the teachers in this school, if there is any payment of money and you have not paid yours, they will be saying you have received your allowance and so you have to pay and all those stuff, but the money is not in yet, we are still in the waiting period,” a nurse told Starr News’ Josephine Asabea Akonor.

Meanwhile, nurses at the Ankaful Psychiatric Hospital have also threatened to go on a rampage as they push again for the transfer of their medical director, Eugene Dordoye.

They have served notice to release all patients unto the streets and lock up the office of their medical director. The nurses are accusing the medical director of poor leadership style amid his alleged engagement in acts of corruption. This is the third time in just two weeks that the nurses are embarking on a sit down strike over the matter.

The health minister sent a delegation to the facility to investigate the claims leveled against the medical director, but the nurses say the ministry is delaying in addressing their grievances.
