SHS Graduates who will be recruited to CHIPS compounds will be Paid Ghc400.00. YEA





The Youth Employment Agency (YEA) says it is well-equipped to pay the 5,000 senior high school graduates who will at the end of this month be employed to assist with basic health care delivery at CHPS compounds in rural communities.

Speaking on the Point of View on Citi TV, the Head of Corporate Affairs of the agency, Emmanuel Kwasi Afriyie, argued that all the agency’s programmes under this administration have been sustained and this will be no exception.

“Since the time we had lawyer Justin Koduah as CEO till the time of my current boss, there has never been any instance where our beneficiaries have come out to complain about unpaid allowances. We manage our programmes very well.”

“We are fully prepared to sustain the programme.”


He further indicated that the programme beneficiaries will be paid GH¢400.

The YEA announced that 5,000 senior high school graduates will at the end of this month be employed to assist with basic health care delivery, such as recording medical history of patients at CHPS compounds located in rural communities.

The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association described the move as disturbing and opposed the idea, as it maintains that only skilled professionals should be engaged.

The Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, in reaction to this, said the system has been in place since 2016 and is geared toward community engagement, not clinical work.

Image
The National Communication Bureau of the New Patriotic Party (NPP ) wishes to inform all its Communicators, Media Monitors, and Officials that the Party has boycotted TV3 morning Show ( NewDay) effectively 3rd January 2022.   The reason for this boycott has to do with the unreasonable decision of the Producers and Host of the program Johnny who always interrupt npp communicators when they  are showcasing the projects the government has done.  All efforts to get the Producers and Host of the program to give us a fair treatment on the show over the 6 months, including a complaint to the Management of the station for an amicable resolution of this matter, have proven futile, as the party continues to be twith the witthe  utmost contempt.
