We need a system that can identify perpetrators of these ghosts names on government payroll. The fraud seems to be entrenched with no end in sight. Even linking the Ghanacard seems not to be working and honestly, we're making fools of ourselves before the whole world.

Every year we hear about ghost names on the state payroll system, with billions of Cedis paid to people with no work done, why? Simple, we have a corrupt and criminal leaders across the country causing havoc to the life of the citizens, destroying the economy. It looks like our government does not know how many people are in active employment, and how much money should be paid out every month, crazy country, how can this be a reality today, in 2026 with all the techinology around. We are simply not serious as a country, even the state should not pay over a pesewa on the payroll system to active employees and pensioners, snd all active state employees should be accounted for every month, this is not hard, kid stuff, here we are talking about 67,000 names over, crazy, lazy and corrupt leaders all over the country, useless state auditors.

Hold those in charge for verification responsible, and then put a system in place to prevent recurrence. Nobody is enthused by you removing ghost names. Those ghosts are not supposed to be on the payroll, and anyone who helps to put those ghosts on the payroll should be punished to deter others.

Eeeeii another ghost names again. Every government is removing ghost names but we are not seeing any transformation. We don't hear about the building of Gold and cocoa refinery factories. aluminium processing factories, crude refinery facilities, food processing plants etc. All we here is ghost names which never gets finished. These leaders must stop this scamming and bring real development and transformation to our country.

How did the ghost names appear on the payroll? The salaries were paid to bank,who are the owners of the accounts? This should be the last ghost name story.

You just mentioned figures like the statistical service directly writing inflation figures to Ghanaians. He just raised his pen without reasoning.

I thought Dr digital bawumia said all the ghost names on government payroll has been removed. So why is the ndc claiming 67000 names have again been removed. Are the names added again when JDM took the steering wheel? Ghana, which should we now believe. Cos we were made to understand that no one can be paid without the ghanacard and a bank account linked to it. Were the names added on last day of nana addo leaving or added during recent dumsor. Wonders shall never end. Ghana has a long journey to go.

Ghana is a joke country. Ministers received double pay and none was punished. Citizens receive unauthorised pay and its called ghost names. Yet no one get punished. Thievery from to bottom. Very sad.
