The Staff Union of the National Service Authority (NSA), under the National Service Authority Staff Union (NASASU), has condemned what it describes as attempts by political party foot soldiers to hijack the operations of the Authority.
In a press release dated April 11, 2025, and signed by NASASU Chairman, Ayirebi Adubofour, the Union expressed concern over growing political interference in the Authority’s internal affairs, particularly regarding staff recruitment and transfers.
The Union warned 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 release stated.
The Union reiterated that all recruitment 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.
NASASU 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. It also called on the NSA Management to strictly adhere to the guiding legal and institutional frameworks and maintain the integrity of the Authority.
Additionally, NASASU appealed to the government to shield public institutions such as the National Service Authority from undue political influence and advised political parties to refrain from using the Authority as a tool for partisan gains.
The Union’s statement concludes by asserting that the Authority’s mandate must remain independent and professional, urging all stakeholders to respect its legal status and statutory responsibilities.
