The Controller and Accountant General’s Department (CAGD) has requested heads of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to submit the required information on employees whose salaries were suspended from the mechanised payroll due to zero bank account numbers.
A statement copied to the B&FT said that the exercise will allow the Department to restore the names of the affected employees on the payroll, and that affected persons whose required details were not submitted within the stipulated period will have names permanently deleted from the payroll.
The CAGD, in September and October 2014, suspended the salaries of employees who did not have bank account numbers as part of measures to clean the payroll data.
“It has now been decided that employees whose salaries were suspended in September, 2014 should submit the requisite information by 14th November 2014, while those whose salaries were suspended in October 2014 are to submit the information by 15th December, 2014.
“Employees are also reminded that failure to submit the required information on the due dates — 14th November or 15th December, 2014 respectively — will compel the Controller and Accountant General’s Department to permanently delete their names from the payroll without further opportunity for restoration,” the statement read.
