Dead state employees in Jamaica still on payroll

(Jamaica Gleaner): The Public Sector Transformation Unit (PSTU) says it has uncovered several discrepancies in the public sector, including salary payments to dead workers on the Government’s payroll. PSTU Chairman Peter Moses (left) made the revelation while speaking at yesterday’s sitting of Parliament’s Public Administration and Appropriations Committee, which is reviewing the PSTU’s recommendations for modernising the public sector. "There are too many people employed, too many people being paid, people who are being paid who are not alive anymore – we have unearthed a lot," Moses told the committee.
