According to the Director-General of National Service Authority (NSA), Felix Gyamfi, on the matter of Birim North District payroll fraud, the Scheme vowed to publish the names and photographs of individuals involved in the scandal.
NSA, in an official release dated Wednesday, May 14, 2025, condemned the act using the Public Services Commission Act.
“This conduct constitutes a clear breach of the Public Services Commission Act, 1994 (Act 482) and contravenes the ethical and legal standards required of public officers. Specifically, it undermines Section 12 of the Act, which obligates public officers to exhibit honesty, integrity, and accountability in the discharge of their duties.”

“It further constitutes unlawful enrichment and misappropriation of public funds, and shall be addressed with the full weight of applicable laws.”
Further, the release stated how the new regime under the watch of H.E. John Dramani Mahama will uproot and manage the NSA system strictly.
“In line with new reforms to eliminate payroll fraud, we are implementing stricter verification processes to sanitize the system and restore integrity to the National Service Authority. All records submitted for enrolment will now be validated against the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) employment database to detect and eliminate instances of double remuneration and identity falsification.”
Stating categorically, the NSA Director-General disclosed that they have zero tolerance for such conduct. Also, Staff of the NSA who are found guilty of this offence risk being dismissed from the Authority.
“Public Servants who involve themselves in this also face termination from their primary employment, in addition to prosecution and permanent disqualification from future public service opportunities.”
NSA indicated that as part of the ongoing exercise:
- All culpable individuals who are part of this practice and are rumored to be in their thousands Nationwide are directed to immediately cease submitting their monthly allowance forms to the NSA offices for payment and are further directed to report voluntarily to the NSA Regional Offices by 23rd May, 2025 for rectification of their status in the NSA System,
- Failure to do so will result in the future publication of the names and photographs of all found culpable without recourse to them and the forwarding of their details to the appropriate security and law enforcement agencies for further investigation and potential prosecution.
This enforcement exercise, according to the NSA, is a clear warning and notice to all those involved in this dastardly act that the staff of the National Intelligence Bureau and whistleblowers have been monitoring them quietly for months and will bring out more gathered facts.
“We wish to reassure the public that our enhanced systems and internal controls will expose all offenders, no matter how long ago the offence occurred. Anyone who attempts to defraud the system shall be found out, shamed, and held fully accountable,” NSA assured Ghanaians.
