The Coalition of NABCO Trainees has urgently appealed to the National Peace Council, calling for immediate intervention in the ongoing crisis over unpaid allowance arrears, which has impacted trainees since 2021.
The Coalition has voiced serious concerns about the prolonged delays and have announced plans for a large-scale demonstration at the forecourt of Jubilee House, scheduled for a week before the upcoming elections if their grievances are not addressed.
The Coalition hopes that the National Peace Council’s involvement will help resolve the issue and prevent further escalation.
In a formal petition to the council members, the coalition highlighted the severe impact of the unpaid allowances on their livelihoods and the broader implications for national security and stability.
Despite numerous petitions to the Office of the President and relevant Ministries, the matter remains unresolved, leading trainees to consider more drastic measures.
The Coalition underscored the Peace Council’s vital role in maintaining peace during the election period and urged the council to engage with the President to expedite the payment of the arrears.
They expressed hope that, the Peace Council’s intervention would be instrumental in maintaining national security and ensuring a peaceful election.
