The names of employees with zero bank accounts were suspended from the mechanised payroll system pending the submission of the requisite information to the District offices of the Auditor General. 

Affected employees were given up to 15th December, 2014 to present themselves with the to the requisite information relevant District offices of the Auditor General for validation before their salaries could be restored onto the payroll. 

The instruction further indicated that employees, who failed to provide the required information by the end of 15th December, 2014 would have their names deleted from the payroll permanently. 

In a statement signed by the Controller and Accountant General, at the end of February 2015, 44,496 names out of the total number of 47,186 employees suspended were validated by the Audit Service and restored onto the payroll. 

The records of the remaining 2,690 employees who have not been validated are being investigated for further action to be taken.
