IMANI Ghana however insists SSNIT ought to do more.<\/p>\n
President of IMANI Ghana, Franklin Cudjoe in an interview with Citi News<\/strong> commended the Finance Ministry for taking steps to sanitize the public payroll saying, \u201cI think the Ministry is doing its work right now and I think it\u2019s in order.\u201d<\/p>\n He however questioned why workers who have been employed by the government are being asked to submit their SSNIT numbers because according to him, \u201cpresumably in the public sector, there is no way you can be on the pay roll without having a SSNIT number.\u201d<\/p>\n Franklin Cudjoe expressed worry that some individuals who have been employed to work in the public sector do not have SSNIT numbers.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think a country that has about 600,000 public sector workers; it\u2019s just a third or a quarter of them with SSNIT numbers\u2026so it looks to me that SSNIT also needs to do its work well,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n The IMANI boss argued that such a situation is \u201cnot right and I think we need to do something about it.\u201d<\/p>\n He was of the view that anybody working in a public institution must have SSNIT numbers so asking some workers to submit their numbers is indicative that SSNIT \u201cmust be up and doing.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think SSNIT needs to be much more discerning other than spending our money in wasteful investments.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By: Efua Idan Osam\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana![\"ssnit-logo\"](\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/ssnit-logo.png\"){kind=logo}
