The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) has suspended the salaries of 2,563 public sector employees following a nationwide verification exercise that uncovered discrepancies in their records.
Officials say the move is part of ongoing efforts to ensure accuracy in public sector payrolls and to eliminate unauthorized or duplicate entries. The affected employees work across various ministries, departments, and agencies throughout Ghana.
While the department has not disclosed the exact nature of the discrepancies, it has emphasized that the suspension is temporary and that payments will resume once records are fully verified. Workers whose salaries have been withheld have been urged to cooperate with authorities and provide any necessary documentation to confirm their employment details.
CAGD noted that the verification exercise is essential for maintaining financial integrity in the public sector, particularly amid pressures on government finances. By confirming payroll records, the department aims to strengthen accountability, reduce errors, and prevent misuse of public funds.
Authorities have reassured affected staff that their salaries will be reinstated promptly once verification is complete. The initiative is part of broader government efforts to enhance transparency and efficiency in public sector management.
