Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson met with leaders from three major education unions about pay issues. UTAG, TUTAG, and CETAG wanted answers about their Book and Research Allowance payments. The minister told them the money appears in the 2025 budget. His office works with the Education Ministry to release the funds. Union leaders asked for this meeting to clear up confusion.
Government auditors found fake names on the payroll during their review. The Auditor-General discovered many ghost workers who collect paychecks without doing jobs. Forson said removing these false entries could save taxpayers lots of money. He asked union leaders to help clean up the payroll system. The minister wants to make government pay fair and honest.
The unions suggested creating a Labor Relations Desk inside the Finance Ministry. Forson liked this idea because it would improve talks between workers and government officials. The new desk would help solve problems faster when they come up. He promised to work with all groups to build a better public service. The minister wants the system to treat everyone fairly.
