However, further screening reviewed the number downwards.

He explained: “Further screening by the committee revealed that only 362 workers out of the initial figure were clarified to be on government payroll as at June 2019.

“The committee recommends that all illegal salary so far earned by the affected workers should be deducted from their pension and gratuity.

“It also recommended that all involved should be prosecuted for fraud, along with anyone or persons identified to be their accomplices.”

The commissioner said there was need for the councils’ Heads of Department to start enforcing discipline.

“They must introduce schedules of duties for their officers so that errant officers would be punished for any infraction,” he said.

Receiving the report, Gov. Fayemi expressed gratitude to members of the committee for their dedication assuring that he would look into the recommendations for immediate implementation.
