“What we are trying to do is to validate the payroll to ensure that people who are on the payroll are genuine workers. The attritions on the payroll are very high. Each year there are between 10,000 to12,000 people who leave the payroll because they’ve gone on pension, resigned or died and the process of removing these names is very slow. So we are going through it to clean it and those who are on it fraudulently, we take them on,” he said.

He further indicated that his office is committed to also taking on people who were on the payroll fraudulently.

In a just ended exercise to sanitise the payroll in the Central Region, it was found that some persons were employed after they used fake certificates to apply for their jobs.
