The publication alleging that the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department has
effected controversial deductions from the November 2021 salaries of teachers, has
unfortunately received wide circulation on social media as well as on the airwaves.
We find this to be very unfortunate, as clarifications from the Controller and AccountantGeneral’s Department were not sought prior to the publication for the sake of fairness and objectivity.
Controller And Accountant General want Teachers to note that;
1. The Controller and Accountant-General processes the Government of Ghana Payroll on behalf of the MDAs/MMDAs.
2. All Third-Party deductions are agreements between the Institutions and their employees/clients.
3. The Ghana Education Service officially wrote to request for the deduction of 30% of the cost of laptops supplied to teachers under the One-Teacher-One-Laptop programme amounting to 509.55ghc. The 70% of the cost of the laptop is being
borne by the Government of Ghana.
4. The Ghana Education Service officially wrote to request for the deduction of 100.00ghc as Teacher Licensing Fee.
5. These deductions, per the letters we received were as a result of agreements
between the Ghana Education Service and the various Teacher Unions.
