Dr. Michael Kpessa Whyte made the
call in an interview with the Daily Express on the sidelines of the 6th
National delegates congress was held under the theme “National Service – A
period of Transition”. He asked executives of service personnel to use the
opportunity given them to collaborate with government so they could all have a
mutual benefit.
“NASPA and National Service can only
grow when the scheme management and your executives collaborate. If the other party who is expected to collaborate
with us (NSS) is not available to be collaborating with… your interest is
sacrifice and we don’t want your interest to be sacrifice” he said.
The Acting Director indicated that
the leadership of service personnel can’t contest government and win without
cooperation. Dr. Kpessa –Whyte implored NASPA executives to desist from using their
position to extort money from potential service personnel with the view of
influencing their postings.
“The act of using one’s position to
collect money with the view that one can influence the places where potential
national service personnel are posted is corruption and must be not be
encouraged” he bemoaned.
Dr. Michael Kpessa Whyte said
government is willing to cooperate with NASPA in addressing their grievances
but won’t tolerate personnel who refuse to cooperate.
“Myself and all my colleagues in the
national service will not tolerate anybody who will come there and flex their
waist around as if they are there to tell management what to do. We will be
willing to welcome anybody who is willing to cooperate….. the name of the game is partnership and
cooperation, National Service- NASPA are not political parties , they are
institution of state and the other one is an association of past student who
are serving” he concluded.
