Government workers without valid NIA details risk salary suspension from September 15
Government employees whose valid National Identification Authority (NIA) details are not captured on the government payroll system risk having their salaries suspended from September 15, 2026.
The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) has issued a directive stating that government employees without valid National Identification Authority (NIA) details on the government payroll system risk having their salaries suspended from September 15, 2026. This directive, issued on August 24, 2026, comes in response to discrepancies identified after the introduction of the upgraded Employee Payslip (E-Payslip) system.
These discrepancies have led to some employees being unable to access their payslips, as some NIA numbers on the payroll do not match the records at the NIA, while others have no NIA details captured at all. The CAGD has directed Human Resource departments of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to ensure that all employees have accurate NIA numbers on the payroll system. Failure to comply with this directive could result in salary suspensions.
