The Controller and Accountant General has served
notice to heads of MDAs/MMDAs and employees on the
mechanized payroll that salaries for January 2015
has been paid.

However, some employees in the Greater Accra
region could not be paid because heads of
management units did not validate and certify
their employees to be paid for the month of
January, 2015.

According to a statement signed by the Controller
and Accountant-General, Madam Grace Francisca
Adzroe, the list of affected management units has
been published on the CAGD website.

"CAGD wishes to inform the affected heads of
departments and employees that a window of
opportunity has been provided for the management
units heads who did not validate their employees
to do so between Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th
January, 2015 to enable CAGD prepare a
supplementary payroll for the affected employees
for payment by 2nd February, 2015," the statement
read in part.

It added: "The validation and certification of the
payment vouchers however is a mandatory
requirement for payment of salaries of employees
in a management unit.

"The CAGD has already advised the affected
management unit heads of the opportunity to
validate their employees for the month of January,
2015."

"Heads of departments and management units should
please take note of government policy and
Regulation 304 of the Financial Administration,
Regulation, 2004 (LI 1802) which requires heads of
departments and management units to validate and
certify their payment vouchers before their
salaries could be paid by the CAGD.

"In case of any difficulty, heads managements
could contact the Sectional head of Greater Accra
