~2.7 mins read
Accordingly, Banks And Relevant Financial Institutions Where Their Salaries Were Deposited Have Been Duly Notified To Recover All Wrongful Salaries Paid To These Absentee Government Employees. While The Recovery Process Progresses, A List Of The Said Perennially Absentee Staff Has Been Submitted To The Public Service Commission (PSC) With Recommendations To Summarily Dismiss Them, And Declare Their Positions Vacant In Accordance With PSC Regulations No.57.
The Second Phase Of The Staff Audit Conducted In December 2024, Covered The Rest Of The Civil Service, Which Includes The Armed And Security Forces. Crucially, Based On The Preliminary Reports Of This Audit, Some 679 Public Servants Could Not Be Physically Identified. Consequently, Their Salaries Will Be Initially Stopped For The Month Of April, 2025 Pending Potentially Genuine Queries From Affected Staff.
Thereafter, A Detailed List Covering Unseen Staff Will Be Published For Wrongful Salary Recovery And Immediate Dismissal From The Service Of The Gambia Government.
Both Phases Of Staff Audit Were Conducted Together With Pensioners’ Audit, With A View To Cleaning Up Of Government Pensioners’ Database Of Deceased Beneficiaries.
Significantly, And Consistent With Global Best Practices, The Ministry Of Public Service, Is Poised To Put In Place Robust Mechanisms And Processes To Circumvent Persistent Incidents Of Ghost Workers On Government Payroll For Both Active Employees And Pensioners. These Audit Exercises Are Saving The Gambia Government Millions Of Dalasis On Account Of Wrongful Salary And Pension Payments.
