Accra, April 21, GNA – The Auditor General says an amount of GH¢427,995,661.40 attributed to Mr Frank Oliver Kpodo, a public servant, as unearned salary was an error.
The Auditor-General’s report on the Nationwide Payroll Audit for the period January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025 and dated November 20, 2025 had indicated that Mr Kpodo was answerable for the said amount in unearned salaries.
“We offer our sincere and unreserved apologies to Mr Frank Oliver Kpodo for the distress and unwarranted public scrutiny this error may have caused,” a statement from the Office of the Auditor General, signed by Mr Frederick Lokko, Assistant Director of Audit/Information Officer, said on Tuesday.
“We wish to state that, the amount attributed to Mr Kpodo above was due to a transpositional error. The GH¢427,995,661.40 relates to the Ministry of Education in respect of 3,476 unaccounted staff during the audit,” the statement noted.
