[CHECKLIST] Over 200 newly posted teachers appointments suspended by GES
In a letter signed by Prof. Smile Dadzi (Mrs.), Ag. Deputy Director-General (MS) for Ag. Director-General monitored by our platform has issued a directive to suspend the mechanization of newly recruited staff onto the payroll. This decision was made after it was observed that a total of 205 staff were integrated onto the payroll between March 2025 and April 2025 without approved Financial Clearance. The Financial Clearance for these staff had expired on December 31, 2024.
Reason for Suspension
The suspension is a result of the CAGD’s reconciliations of new entrants on the mechanized payroll against approved Financial Clearance issued by the Ministry of Finance for Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). The department noted that the integration of staff without valid Financial Clearance was a breach of procedure and has therefore directed that the mechanization of new staff be halted until further notice.
Directive from CAGD
The directive, contained in a letter dated May 15, 2025, with reference number CAGD/PPD/0525/0142, emphasizes the need for strict adherence to this suspension. The CAGD is keen on ensuring that all procedures are followed, and financial clearances are obtained before integrating new staff onto the payroll.
Impact on Ministries, Departments, and Agencies
This suspension will likely have implications for Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) that have recently recruited new staff. These institutions will need to ensure that they obtain the necessary Financial Clearance before new staff can be integrated onto the payroll. The CAGD’s directive is aimed at maintaining financial discipline and ensuring that all payroll transactions are properly authorized.
Conclusion
The suspension of new staff mechanization on the payroll serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to financial procedures and obtaining the necessary clearances before integrating new staff onto the payroll. MDAs are expected to comply with this directive and await further instructions from the CAGD before proceeding with the mechanization of newly recruited staff.
