Controller and Accountant General’s Department in Ghana has suspended salaries of over seven thousand workers in the public sector.
This development is attributed to the failure of heads of departments to validate public workers in their respective institutions.
The Controller and Accountant General’s Department say the suspension of salaries will affect those public sector workers whose salaries have not been validated through the Electronic Payment Voucher System in August 2017 as well employees whose salaries were not validated.
“Those whose salaries were suspended due to non-validation of salaries would be paid at the end of September 2017 on the condition that their heads of department validate them on the ESPV platform for September 2017,” the Department said.
A notice signed by the Controller and Accountant General, Eugene Ofosuhene noted, “Employees with zero or irregular bank account details and others with wrong or without Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) numbers and employees sharing the same account numbers should submit the required information to the payroll processing directorate of the Controller and Accountant General’s Department for processing.”
“Employees yet to go through the biometric registration exercise should contact the biometric registration center at the Ministry of Finance with the necessary documents for registration,” the notice stated.
The authority says it took the decision based on Regulations 297 of the Financial Administration Regulation, 2004 (LI 1802), with an objective of cleaning the payroll system and “improve the efficiency of the government of Ghana payroll management.”
