The revelations that the national service scheme is the latest theft enterprise in the current government comes as no surprise. They have been jacking up the payroll with ghosts for years but reached aggravated levels under the most disinterested and sleepy government in the last 6 years. When I initially resigned from the governments committee , I offered the following in order to check payroll fraud. I still do not believe that the wage bill is truly 70% of our internally generated revenues. The Finance Ministers vaunted GIFMIS will not work. Decentralisation and outsourcing is the way forward. The centre must stop employing all public service personnel. My point-.The Controller and Accountant General’ must sublet payroll management to private software companies. It is a worrying that whilst recruitment within the Ministries, Departments and Agencies are on hold on paper, there are suggestions of back door recruitment practices which are unknown to the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission which ultimately find space on the pay roll. It is very possible that when a serious labour audit is done, the 70% figure reported to be the total toll on our internally generated revenues may actually be substantially lower.
