NAGRAT can go to hell. If my memory is correct SSNIT have been doing biometric registration of public sector workers nationwide for the past 2-3 years. Check your payslips announcement on this activity has been on CAGD payslips for more than 4 years for all workers to go through this process why only NAGRAT members. MOF suspend the salaries of these ghost workers

I'll be shocked if Govt backs down and heed to their request. Individuals have hijacked the system with support from some greedy unpatriotic leaders to milk the state through ghost names. Don't understand why the past Govt failed to go ahead to deleting these ghost names without SSNIT biometric registration despite having notified all since two years back. NADAA plse make Ghana work again and ignore these useless and unwarranted threats from NAGRAT, GNAT et al.

I'm victim meanwhile I'm not a ghost. The education of this exercise didn't go down well. I in particular never thought it's connected to salaries so I feel reluctant to go and do it.

I've never been in the public sector but I heard this over a year ago. How can an educated person not read the news or know what's going on for over a year. And you don't feel shy saying it too.

You are into serious. It has been showing on payslips for over 2 years now.
The govt shd delete the names. Because it shows people are just floating about without heeding directives.

How can responsible teachers not heed to request by the government to put their names on the biometric register ? This tells you how irresponsible these teachers are.

Misplaced priority, they should educate their to go through the Biometric and update their data with CAGD. They should remember on retirement the members would no longer receive support from them if they should encounter any problem Processing retirement benefits at SSNIT. The right time to correct any anomaly regarding your pension benefits is now. GNAT and NAGRAT should stop exposing their ignorance and rather encourage all affected teachers to cooperate with SSNIT and CAGD for their good.

Are you sure you are not the ignorant one here? The only reason why a worker must be paid or not is whether he earned that salary or not. A worker definitely earns his salary when he has diligently discharged his duties for the period under review. I don't think teachers would be paid this month because they have undergone biometric registration? It is unfairfor any employer to suspend the payment of employee's salary because he or she have done biometric registration. This may have legal implications

The only lawless situation here is to refuse to pay someone who have worked. That is lawlessness. This biometric registration has nothing to do with the reason why a teacher should be paid. Refusing to pay teachers who are not biometrically registered simply means that, teachers are paid because of biometric registration but not for thier work which clearly is not the case

I think its not fair looking at the time period of about a year and still people don't want to comply. The government shouldn't back out at all. Spirits names should be removed as soon as possible.

Then if they have done the registration in a months time they can be taken.Pls. do not use ur own corrupt means to disturb any innocent person. The government officials connive with workers of CAGD to put pay ghosts and they want to blame others for it.

Some of these associations with their executives close link with political parties must be investigated and disbanded.NAGRAT of which their members are supposedly graduates are shocking Ghanaians now.Biometric registration of voters you left the classrooms and did it.SSNIT biometric registration of teachers which is of paramount interest to your members you are criticising it with impunity. Boo shit SSNIT should inform the executives of NAGRAT before taking a decision affecting all workers in the country,?Who are they?Government must delete the names because for three years now there is a notice on payslips asking workers and SSNIT contributors to register biometrically.They just want to make NPP unpopular. All the executives have registered and just throwing dust into the eyes of their members.If their members are in trouble they can support them with their funds and advise them to register.Only and only if they have not squandered their moneys.The police must beat them severely if they embark on demonstration.They allowed corrupt NDC to work and did not breathe any air of dissatisfaction when things were bad for teachers.This is absolute nonsense.They should rather plead than adopting inferior tactics to make their case.Ask your members to register and be more responsible next time.You sit in your offices and enjoy dues paid by your members and not educating them on important national issues.

Pls check the logo used in the caption of the story . You inadvertently used GNAT's logo instead of NAGRAT as the entire story was attributed to NAGRAT instead of GNAT .
Do please rectify the anomaly.

Why is CAGD not using the biometric data generated by its staff and rather wants to use that of SSNIT . We were made to queue for days for our data to be taken biometrically by CAGD staff with the single purpose of eliminating "ghosts" from Govt payroll. We were again subjected by the BNI for headcount through verification of certificates still in the name of hunting for "ghosts" So the question remains 'where are the ghosts '????????? l still can't find the linkage between a worker not going through SSNIT biometric registration and his/her status being declared as 'ghost'

Thumbs up NAGARAT. Continue to be the pacesetters

NAGRAT perhaps is afraid of the truth of many GHOST Teachers on payroll and counted and fraudulently paid as members of Teaching staff. The true length or height of a Frog is known after its death.

The issue of ghost names cannot be solved by this biometric. who creates those ghost names? are those people still not in the system? what are we doing to get rid of them. i know of friends who are on study leave outside Ghana and their names have been added to the ghost list. my advise to Ghanaians is that we should force our leaders to build working institutions and not pathways institutions. payroll should be decentralized and people punished for have ghost on their system.
