Management of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital has been asked to refund an amount of GH¢36,000 paid as unearned salaries to some staff in 2020.
The order came when the management appeared before the Public Accounts Committee today, Wednesday, January 18, 2023.
The Deputy Human Resource Director of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Ebenezer Prince Arhin, who represented the hospital, indicated that efforts made towards retrieving the funds from the relatives of some of the deceased staff in the last two years have proven futile.
He assured the committee that they would do everything possible to retrieve the money.
“The unearned salaries are GH¢115,889, 12, Korle Bu has been able to recover GH¢79, 000 plus and the outstanding is GH¢36,000. We have made frantic efforts to recover that amount but some of them are deceased. We have gotten to their next of kin, and we are pursuing them for the money,”
His explanation was rejected by the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, James Klutse Avedzi.
He then asked the management to refund the unrecovered amount to the hospital’s accounts.
