Dr. Kpessah Whyte Busts 75,000 Ghosts On The Payroll In 3 Months---Controller & Accountant General's Department Couldn't In 9 Years!

Dr. Kpessah Whyte Busts 75,000 Ghosts On The Payroll In 3 Months---Controller & Accountant Generals Department Couldnt In 9 Years!

The Daily Graphic today reports that under the leadership of Dr. Kpessah-Whyte as acting Executive Director of the National Service Scheme 75,000 Ghost names have been removed from NSS payroll in 3 months, saving GH¢26.5m.!

This is an exercise that the Controller and Accountant General's Department has been unable to undertake in 9 years and actually prevented the clearance of the rot at National Service in 2010.

Dr. Kpessah-Whyte has done the following in 3 months as reported by the Daily Graphic!!!

1. In line with the control measures instituted by the new management, the allowances of service personnel can be processed only on the completion of a monthly reporting form that must be duly signed by the service person and his or her superior officer. - the scheme managers decided to effect the payment of monthly allowances through the e-zwich.

2. "This new shift will return the regional and district offices to their original roles as centres that facilitate the integration and evaluation of the NSS," the acting Executive Director said.

3. Traditionally, names on the National Service payroll go up every year.

But, the 2013/2014 figure of 184,965 dropped to 89,612 in the current service year.

The acting Executive Director of the NSS, Dr Michael Kpessa-Whyte has proven me wrong!
