Pension Scam: Abia Suspends Treasury Officers’ Salaries by ocular007(m): 9:36pm On Jul 09, 2014 |
Pension scam: Abia suspends treasury officers’ salaries Irked by the reluctance of the staff of sub- treasuries to implement government new policy on electronic payment of pensioners, the Abia State Govenment has directed the immediate stoppage of the salaries of the staff of the sub- treasury . Commissioner for Finance, Dr. Philip Nto, in a release said that the disciplinary measure would not be vacated until the erring officers comply with the new policy, which he explained was aimed at eradicating corruption in the system. Nto who lamented that his late father’s name was still in pensioners’ payroll years after his demise said government would not hesitate to expose and prosecute any official found defrauding the state. The Commissioner vowed that government would not rescind its decision to commence the implementation of electronic payment of pensioners by the end of July 2014, warning that any one who constitutes a clog to the proposal will be severely dealt with. He, therefore, directed the Heads of Sub-Treasuries to ensure strict compliance with all government directives regarding the welfare of pensioners. The Heads of Sub-treasuries were also directed to submit without delay the necessary documents and data needed for the verification and commencement of e-payment of pensioners in the state. When implemented, the new policy is expected to end the woes of pensioners in the state who have complained bitterly of pension arrears even when the fund has been provided by government . The PUNCH recalls that government’s directive on biometric audit of council staff two years ago met stiff opposition by some fraudulent officials and cabal who had corruptly enriched themselves through public funds. The sharp practice has gone unchallenged for years, hence the reluctance of the Heads of Sub-Treasuries to facilitate the commencement of the electronic payment. Gov. Theodore Orji had early last year declared total war on corruption , misappropriation and outright embezzlement of public funds,warning that any government official (s) found culpable will be fired and prosecuted. http://www.punchng.com/news/pension-scam-abia-suspends-treasury-officers-salaries/

To think that someone worked for this money for over 30 years yet some thieves refused to pay him/her is dishearten. Anyone. Found guilty of stealing pensions found should be tried as a murderer. 10 years behind bars is too small. 2 Likes |

The Commissioner isn't the one receiving his late dad's pension, rather the treasury officers channel such ghost pensions to their purse. Abia is a corrupt state, even the governor won't be absolved of such charges. He is the chief of corruption. 4 Likes |

I am not a supporter of Ochendo, but in this area I support him. The pension board has done series of screening for this e-payment, but why they are dragging their feet on its implementation is what I don't understand. The officials of the sub-treasury, make money paying cash. At least I know that. For instance, if your pension is #46,758.50, just know that you will be receiving #46,000 or even #45,000. The remaining goes into the cashier's Pocket. Now imagine collecting over #500. to #1000 from individual pensioners at each payment period. Why won't they oppose e-payment? And untop of this, these old men and women sometimes do show "appreciation" after they have suffered to collect what is rightfully theirs. 1 Like |
