I'm not too sure what will be achieved in this? We should also be careful not to frustrate eligible service personnel!

I think we should congratulate Felix Gyamfi for these measures being put in place to check the input of GHOST NAMES into their system. These will save the state lots of money for other uses. For those who were being paid at other institutions whilst still on the NSA payroll, withdrawing their names alone should not be enough. The NSA should work with the Accountant General to retrieve those funds they collected fraudulently, by monthly deductions. This might be hard, since there are equally guilty Parliamentarians who collected DOUBLE SALARIES in the past, but DOABLE. This will also continue to put those Parliamentarians, whether NDC or NPP, on notice that society has neither forgotten them nor forgiven them. To reset Ghana and put us on the course of accountability, there must be some bitter pills for those who had previously, knowingly coated every pill with honey.

Can't we make this verification quarterly or twice in a year? Aren't we going to stress the service personnel with these monthly verification thing?

People given the opportunity to serve this poor country have failed the state. The looting that took place is unprecedented in scope and scale.

It appears Ghanaians have short memories. This is not the first time we have heard of scandals on NSS payroll. In fact, during Mahama's past regime a similar thing happened and the money involved was gargantuan and running into billions of dollars yet Mahama swept everything under the carpet and those involved were left off the hook to enjoy their loot. Nana Addo came and intead of reopening investigations intothematter, he just closed his eyes because he saw the NSS as a perfect conduit to siphon money from the National coffers for his Akyem Mafia and now look at the mess. It is important to note that the NSS has outlived its usefulness since it has now become a conduit for siphoning our national resources by our good for nothing politicians. Both the NPP and NDC have been stealing from the National Service Scheme.

The situation where the government pays allowances for teacher and nursing trainees for them to be trained and at the end of the training they start putting undue pressure on the government to employ them and once they get employed then they start making all kinds of demands as against their conterparts who either pay for their training with student loans will have to be reviewed. It is hope someone will see reason in this and table it at Parliament for it to be discussed and abolished

We have close to 50,000 nurses sitting home and we still paying allowance for school? What about accounting and engineering students?? These students should just take loan like every other student. I'm sure this policy was when we needed more nurses and our politicians don't have the balls to scrab it now that it has outlived the purpose. Why not scrab it and use the savings to employ more nurses in our hospitals? I'm sure allowance of 100,000 students can employ like 10,000 extra nurses. Isn't that a better option???

Good ideas. Thank God we changed the government. Things would have gotten more rotten with these incompetent folks in charge. Continue the good works.

I'm delighted that efforts are being made to integrate the Controller and Accountant General's payroll with the NSS system. This initiative is long overdue, and I'm not surprised given the anomalies I've witnessed. In my workplace, I was shocked to discover about four years ago that two staff members were receiving salaries from both the NSS and the government payroll. I suspect this issue might be widespread across regions, and I believe the government should conduct a thorough investigation.

It’s really bad.

@Ashley. During the time of the NPP, Bawumia, 'The Talking Cricket' had declared on many occasions that people couldn't and shouldn't be allowed to even open Bank Accounts without Ghana Card. How were their own appointees at the NSA able to ENROLL and PAY GHOSTS without verified Ghana Card? Thanks, but No Thanks!

What is national service. Are they really serving the nation? National service must be discontinued. All these resources can be used to create proper employment.

Mr. Gyamfi and team, whatever you do, do it clean.
Don't let power get into your heads.

There's always a day of accountability.

While people with vision were developing Ghana card, the visionless fought against it and even told their followers to boycott it. Dr Bawumia ,God bless you for ignoring them while they fought against Ghana card. It is not 1 year yet, and your vision for which you received INSULTS, has begun to yield great fruits. Your greatness endowed by God is being gradually revealed to be seen and heard by even the politically blind and deaf. More are coming. Who Jah bless, no one cares.

How did Bawumia's Ghana Card stop these their own appointees from rigging the system? He made it the law, collecting money from the ordinary people for it. Meanwhile, he and his appointees were paid without its verification. Presenting just papers with some GHOST NAMES ON THEM. Policies and rules are only as good if they apply to all equally!
