The Office of the President has issued a directive to all heads of government institutions, requesting detailed information on staff members who have been added to their payrolls since Saturday, 7th December 2024.
The request, signed by the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, emphasizes the importance of maintaining transparency and accountability in government payroll management processes.
The memo outlines that institutions are required to submit the following details for each staff member added within the specified period:
Full Name
Designation/Job Title
Employee Identification Number (if applicable)
Date of Appointment
Date Added to Payroll
Heads of institutions have been urged to ensure the requested information is submitted no later than Friday, 31st January 2025. The directive is part of ongoing efforts to verify and ensure the accuracy of government payroll records, specifically those added during the tenure of the John Mahama administration.
“This information is critical to maintaining transparency and accountability,” the memo states, stressing the need for prompt compliance. Institutions facing any challenges or requiring clarification have been encouraged to reach out without hesitation.
The directive has also been copied to the Vice President, the Secretary to the President, and other key stakeholders, underscoring the significance of this initiative in addressing payroll integrity across government institutions.
Failure to meet the submission deadline may attract scrutiny, as the government seeks to streamline payroll systems and eliminate any discrepancies.
