The Weija-Gbawe Municipal Assembly has successfully retrieved GH¢500,000.
This money was being paid to ghost employees, meaning people who did not actually work for the assembly.
An internal audit exercise uncovered that over 100 such ghost employees were on the assembly's payroll.
The audit team identified these fake workers and stopped the payments.
The GH¢500,000 has now been recovered and returned to the assembly.
This action helps ensure that public funds are used for legitimate purposes.
The Weija-Gbawe Municipal Assembly is taking steps to prevent such issues in the future.
