Parliament
has
passed
the
National
Service
Authority
Bill
2024
on
Tuesday,
July
9.
The
bill
aims
to
establish
the
National
Service
Authority.
The
house
was
unanimous
in
giving
the
national
service
autonomy,
TV3’s
Komla
Klutse
reported
from
Parliament.
The
Executive
Director
of
the
National
Service
Scheme,
Osei
Assibey
Antwi,
who
addressed
the
media
on
this
development
said
that
with
the
approval
by
parliament,
national
service
will
no
longer
be
service
of
old.
“If
you
have
a
vibrant
youth,
if
you
have
a
youth
that
has
a
future,
if
you
have
a
youth
that
knows
where
they
are
going,
if
you
have
a
youth
that
has
the
policy
to
guide
them,
especially
at
this
time
that
the
current
management
and
the
board
have
now
moved
into
a
new
direction
called
deployment
for
employment.
This
deployment
for
employment
can
only
be
enhanced
with
this
current
backing.”
He
added
“Now,
Parliament
has
given
us
autonomy,
an
authority
vested
with
powers
in
areas
where
it
will
enhance
entrepreneurship.
“With
this
current
status,
NSS
can
work
to
achieve
a
lot
of
internally-generated
funds
to
reduce
the
burden
on
the
central
government,
and
we
know
the
President
will
assent
to
it
to
give
it
the
finality.”
