Salary Payment Case

[edit]

In November 2025, Ghana’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) directed Koforidua Technical University (KTU) to recover about GH¢817,000 in wrongful salary payments within 90 days.[30] The amount representedwages paid to five employees who had been absent from duty for nearly two years, some reportedly on unapproved study leave or living abroad.

The Auditor-General’s Report attributed the issue to weak internal controls and lapses in payroll supervision. Appearing before the Committee, KTU’s Pro Vice-Chancellor, Professor Richard Ohene Asiedu, confirmed that only a small portion, less than GH¢20,000, had been retrieved.[31]

PAC members, led bySamuel Atta Mills, criticized the university’s management for negligence and warned that if recovery was not completed by February 2026, the institution’s senior officials could be personally surcharged for the loss.[32]
