Peter Bismark Kwofie, Executive Director of the Institute for Liberty and Policy Innovation (ILAPI), has stated that President John Dramani Mahama's directive for an investigation into the alleged over 81,000 ghost names found on the National Service Authority's payroll is refreshing but not the solution to the authority's problems.
The policy analyst described the ghost names on our payroll as a national canker, arguing that dealing with the problem will require more than a presidential directive.
In an interview with Rainbowradioonline.com, he stated that the ghost name issue is a goldmine that benefits many people, including politicians.
He lamented that over Ghc100 million are lost annually through ghost names and end up in the pockets of greedy and corrupt officials, and such money is not recovered, and the exercise becomes wasteful.
