The National Service Authority (NSA) has announced the successful removal of more than 2,000 ghost names from its payroll, a move expected to save the state over GH¢1 million.
According to the NSA’s Director-General, Felix Gyamfi, the cleanup exercise is part of ongoing efforts to enhance transparency and eliminate fraud within the scheme.
He disclosed that the data of service personnel will now be shared with the Controller and Accountant General’s Department for cross-verification to prevent duplication and unauthorized entries.
“If you’re already on another payroll — whether as a police officer, immigration officer, or army officer — and you’re doing national service just to meet the requirement, do not submit your allowance form this month,” Gyamfi warned. “We are now working closely with the NIB and other security agencies, and anyone who attempts to defraud the system will be arrested.”
