Ghost employees haunt DPSM

The call comes after DPSM boss Carter Morupisi told the committee that so far they have discovered about 115 ghost employees on government payroll. Although he was unable to state the length of time these ghost employees have been getting salaries, some people believe that they have cost more than P1 million.

Morupisi told the parliamentary committee that at the moment the majority of the ghost employees are found in the Ministry of Education and Skills Development and the Ministry of Health database. He said they are continuously cleaning the data before capturing it in the computers.
