Kwasi Kwaning Bosompem, Ghana’s Controller and Accountant General, has resigned from his position effective Monday, April 15, 2024. His resignation, submitted to the Office of the President last week, is awaiting acceptance.
Bosompem’s tenure is distinguished by the implementation of the ‘No GhanaCard – No Pay’ policy, aimed at integrating the National Mechanized Payroll Database with the National Identification Authority’s (NIA) database. This integration facilitates real-time biometric validation and verification of government employees.

The policy’s key objective is to eradicate ghost names from government payrolls, a longstanding issue. By decentralizing the verification process to CAGD centers nationwide, the policy enhances efficiency and accountability.
While Bosompem’s departure marks the conclusion of his term, his efforts to streamline payroll processes and bolster the country’s financial systems are expected to have a lasting impact.
Moving forward, the Controller and Accountant General’s Department will focus on building upon these initiatives and ensuring a seamless transition.
