The President of the Concerned National Service Personnel Association of Ghana (CNSPAG), Kwadwo Ye-Large (Political Doctor), has called on Ghanaians to respect the constitutional rights of a National Service Personnel facing allegations in the reported GH¢308,000 DVLA case.
In a press release issued on Tuesday 7th July 2026, Kwadwo Ye-Large urged the public to avoid “trial by media” and allow the courts to determine the facts.
According to him, under Ghana’s Constitution, every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction. He stressed that allegations alone do not make a person guilty and warned against judging the accused before the legal process is completed.
The CNSPAG President also used the opportunity to highlight the financial difficulties facing thousands of National Service Personnel across the country.
He said many personnel are still waiting to receive their outstanding GH¢715 monthly allowances, while GH¢100 has been deducted for the National Service cloth, placing additional financial pressure on young graduates serving the nation.
Kwadwo Ye-Large emphasized that the association is not suggesting that financial hardship excuses or causes any alleged criminal act.
However, he stated that the Government of Ghana and the National Service Authority have a responsibility to pay service personnel on time and treat them fairly.
He therefore called on the National Service Authority to settle all outstanding allowances without delay, explain the GH¢100 cloth deduction, refund personnel who did not opt for the cloth but were deducted, and improve communication with National Service Personnel.
“Our message is simple: let the courts deliver justice, not the headlines. At the same time, let government honour its obligation to the thousands of young graduates who continue to serve this nation under difficult conditions,” the statement concluded.
