  "summary": "The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) has issued a warning that government employees without valid National Identification Authority (NIA) details on the government payroll system will stop receiving their salaries from September 15, 2026. This directive is part of preparations for a nationwide employee re-verification exercise. The CAGD has instructed Human Resource departments of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to ensure all employees have their correct NIA numbers captured in the payroll system. Failure to comply could result in salary suspensions. The Controller and Accountant-General, Kwasi Agyei, emphasized that this measure is necessary to facilitate the upcoming nationwide re-verification exercise. Employees are reminded that physical copies of NIA cards are no longer required for submission or inspection; instead, their NIA numbers and related identity details must be accurately captured in the payroll system through their respective Heads of Human Resources.",
