The Controller and Accountant-General's Department (CAGD) has announced that the delayed education sector allowances have been disbursed, bringing relief to affected workers.

The Department had previously attributed the delay to a technical anomaly encountered during the November 2025 payroll processing, which necessitated a temporary pause in the processing of the allowances to ensure uninterrupted payment of salaries to all Government of Ghana employees.

In a statement, the CAGD revealed that the outstanding allowances were settled ahead of schedule, on December 16, 2025, alongside the December salaries, despite an earlier indication that payment would be made on December 18, 2025.

The Department apologized for any inconvenience caused by the delay and reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing payroll efficiency to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

The CAGD expressed appreciation for the patience and understanding demonstrated by the affected workers during the period of the delay, underscoring its dedication to serving the interests of Ghana's public sector employees.
