As a liar myself, I will never trust another liar. So I don't understand when people are convinced by the Liar-in-Chief. Hmmm, some brainwashed supporters still believe this dude.

Ghana media like hyping politicians. The elimination of ghost names is an on-going process. Ghanaians who are old enough may remember the Accountant-General called Ewuntomah, a Gonja. He directed that al govt Pay Vouchers should be mechanised. The order was met with sceptocosm.
Today if we have databases and instruct that all payments should be made through the bases, which we call digital, it should be normal. This is common practice all the world over. What is the fuss?

Removing ghost names from payroll is practically on-going exercise. So long as there are retirement, resignation, shacking, death and the like. These occur throughout the year and different times and nobody can control that.

@Kofi, but don’t forget if you have weak system you will struggle to detect these things you mentioned not to think of eliminating them. I think we are too negative as a country and that is hindering our ability to grow.

Mr. Amidu then added that the only reason why the NDC presidential candidate is not under investigation by his office is because of the December 7 polls.

The only reason the former President [Mahama] has not been invited for interrogation (in spite of all threats from some of his followers and lawyers) is the fact that he got himself insurance as the Presidential candidate of the other largest political party in Ghana.The so called ghost names was created,to loot and share by the same NDC members during Rawlings era,those babies with sharp teeth took advantage

The problem of ghost names on government payroll is a problem for successive governments. Stop this immature reasoning.
Do you believe that JDM was not invited for investigation because of the then impending December 7 elections. What happened after the then December 7 elections? Mahama was not invited. Clearly, there is nothing to investigate.
The NPP has been in government since 2017 but they could not do anything to Mahama. There is absolutely nothing to prosecute Mahama.

Linking the payroll system and national ID system is surely commendable. However, to further strengthen the integrity of the integrated system, the database for the birth and death registry, as well as the social security database must also become part of the system. This will ensure that an individual who has been recorded as dead during the year will be flagged in the payroll system if his or her information exists within the complete integrated system. For example, in the US, as soon as a person passes away, the information is transmitted from the hospital to the Social Security Administration (SSA) that is the depository of birth and death records. At the end of the year of death, the SSA permanently locks the account of that individual. Any subsequent Government transaction that requires verification, first goes through the SSA, and if the account is already locked, the transaction is rejected.

Jamaican government requires all retired government employees , living at home or abroad, receiving government pension to sign and notarize a document every 3 months, verifying that the recipient is still alive before the benefit for the subsequent 3 months are paid out into a designated bank account of the recipient. With such a system, the most the Jamaican government can lose to fraud relating to a deceased person is just 3 months of pension benefit , and which is easily traceable through the bank of any deceased pensioner.

If the NPP lie led by VP Dr. Bawumia, a google certified liar, and the ultimate crook, the Controller, believes the Ghana Card and Mahama era digitalization has eliminated all ghost names from government payroll lists then why not publish the ghost names? If there ever existed ghost names then without association with Ghana Cards those names should be left as evidence of the much talked about ghost employees; you’ve exposed your own lies NPP
