Order by the Controller and Accountant General’s Department (CAGD) for all public sector workers to register
with the National Identification Authority (NIA) and obtain a Ghana Card or forfeit their salaries in December has been suspended.
Rather, the Controller and Accountant General’s Department (CAGD) has been commissioned to port the
names of public sector workers in their existing database onto the National Identification Authority (NIA)
platform and thereafter, inform the various institutions of any unregistered staff that may exist.
The decision follows a meeting by the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations, Ministry of Finance, the
CAGD, and the leadership of organised labour representing public sector workers on CAGD payroll Tuesday morning
