Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, launched the digital solution to eliminate \u2018ghost names\u2019 on government payroll<\/p>\n

The system involves the linkage of the Government of Ghana (GoG) National Mechanised Payroll Database of the Controller and Accountant-General\u2019s Department (CAGD) with the National Identification Authority (NIA) Database, with the real time biometric validation and verification of applicants decentralised to the various CAGD Verification Centres across the country to ensure more accessibility and convenience.<\/p>\n

The system will ensure real time validation and verification of new and old employees, improve data accuracy for decision making, enhance transparency and accountability, save government the huge costs of regular Payroll Audits across the country since the data can be audited anytime at source, and will operate in decentralized biometric verification centres, saving users the cost of travelling to Accra for validation and verification.<\/p>\n
