The Auditor-General on Monday requested the public to voluntarily provide information to the Audit Service to make the on- going exercise to rid government payrolls of ghost names a success.
A statement issued in Accra and signed by Mr Kwesi Okyere, Public Relations Officer, called on all persons with valuable information to contact the Auditor General in person at his office at the Ministries.
The statement said the service was prepared to refund transport and incidental expenses incurred by informants.
The statement gave the following telephone numbers as contact lines for anybody with some information to call 664928, 666616, 662031, 663538 or fax numbers 675496 and 662493.
The head count of staff of government establishments began in December last year when the Ministry of Finance revealed that government loses over 300 billion cedis yearly in servicing ghost payrolls.
