Big expose from the Auditor General as the Finance pays Ghost names since 2020. They go by the names, Allotey Eamon James, Kwakye Nana Yaw Aseidu and Adma Habibu.
These do not have original staff ID’s yet forms part of the Finance Ministry with receivable accounts.
Regulation 86 of the Public Financial Management Regulations, 2019 (L.I. 2378) states that, a Principal Spending Officer of a covered entity shall ensure that only the names of personnel who are eligible to receive payment for work done are kept on the payment voucher and keep records of the nominal roll of the covered entity in a manner that ensures that the correct amount of emolument is paid.
But the Auditor General in his audit report for the year 2021 noted that he could not trace the personal files and names of the three persons who received salaries for a year on the nominal roll of the Ministry.
Taxes to be levied these salaries were also restrained. What could have happened.
