Two officers from the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), Abida Zakaria and Abora Angelina, must repay 57,006 cedis in unearned salaries by 7 November 2026 at the latest. Interior Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak announced this on 20 October before the parliamentary Public Accounts Committee, reports MyJoyOnline.
The minister warned that officials who authorised the payments would be held financially liable if the sums were not recovered. He also announced the introduction of human resources management software to update postings more quickly and verify the salaries of transferred officers.
