The Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has revealed the Ghana card have saved government million of cedis.
On his campaign tour in Bawjiase in the Awutu Senya West constituency, he detailed, “Through the Ghana Card, we’ve made significant strides in eliminating ghost names from government payrolls. Our first operation targeted the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), where we identified and removed 29,000 ghost names, saving 400,000 cedis.
“Similarly, the National Service Scheme saw 44,000 ghost personnel removed, resulting in savings of over 300 million Ghana cedis,” Dr. Bawumia added.
Dr. Bawumia further declared the Controller and Accountant General has since removed all ghost names from the government payroll which has saved government from making payment to illegal persons on the payrolls.
