He said the personnel were serving in all the sectors of the municipality. Mr Mogtar-Bagya complained about lack of accommodation facing the secretariat and appealed to the developmental partners, municipal assembly and the various departments to help solve the problem. The President of the Bawku National Service Personnel Association, Mr Alphorns Allabilah, urged the personnel to work hard in order to sustain th= e good name of the association. Mr Allabillah commended the heads of institutions where service personnel are working for their support and said personnel would continue t= o work hard and abide by the rules and regulations governing such institutions.
