Controller’s Department Delays Key Allowances for November 2025
The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) has announced a delay in the disbursement of two unspecified key allowances slated for payment in November 2025. The department cited a technical malfunction during the final stages of the payroll processing as the reason for the unforeseen setback, leading to an immediate suspension of the allowance payments.
Technical Issues Halt Allowance Payments
According to an official statement released on November 25, 2025, and signed by the Head of Public Relations, Cephas Dosco, the CAGD deemed it necessary to halt the allowance processing to prevent potential delays in the payment of November salaries for government employees. The department underscored its commitment to ensuring the timely release of core salaries, particularly for individuals compensated through the Government of Ghana payroll system. The CAGD also mentioned plans to collaborate with the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to address payroll irregularities.
The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department has issued assurances to government workers that the issue is being addressed with urgency. Further updates and a revised payment schedule for the affected allowances are expected to be released soon. The incident highlights the challenges inherent in managing large-scale payroll systems and the potential impact of technical glitches on public sector employees.
