The Controller and Accountant General’s Department (CAGD) has announced a harsh approach to delist public sector personnel without Ghana Card numbers, with their pay frozen beginning March 5, 2024.
Speaking at a ceremony in Accra to announce the linking of NIA data to the CAGD payroll today, the Controller and Accountant-General Kwasi Kwaning-Bosompen, this would eliminate ghost names from the government payroll.

Following this, the CAGD president invited employees and members to register for Ghana Cards at any of the NIA’s locations around the country.
He further explained that the new modality “is just there to enhance all these controls and make it possible for us to have a credible database.”
According to him, the “linkage between the national payroll and NIA database has not come to replace existing payroll controls and protocols.”
