Wrongfully declared ghost names to be paid by June 15

The Controller and Accountant General’s Department is expected to complete all validation and payments of Public Sector workers whose names were wrongfully deleted from the payroll by June 15th, 2017.

The Finance Ministry has indicated that the affected workers could commence the process to getting paid from Monday, May 22nd, 2017.

Workers who have registered with SSNIT but have not gone through SSNIT biometric registration are expected to visit any of the offices of SSNIT to be registered, the Ministry said in a statement.

Also, staff who have gone through SSNIT biometric registration but were not paid in the initial payments on the 11thof May are expected to visit SSNIT for proof of registration and further validation.

In addition, staff who have not registered with SSNIT are expected to do so for subsequent validation and payments.

There were massive uproar following the denial of April salaries of more than 26,000 public workers due to their failure to undergo biometric registration.

They were declared ghosts on the payroll and therefore removed. Some unions threatened to go to court over the matter.

But the Finance Minister later apologized to all public sector workers whose names were mistakenly removed from government’s payroll and promised to fix the problem.

However, the statement from the Finance Ministry said about 9300 out of the over 26000 affected workers have thus been paid after successful validation.
