Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican state has lost 725 million meticais ( \u20ac10.3 million) in the last seven years due to the payment of salaries to more than 3,200 \u201cghost employees\u201d, an official source announced.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been verifying, between the first and second year, numbers of employees who have not gone to take the proof of life in various sectors,\u201d said Biza Novela, director of planning and cooperation at the Ministry of State Administration and Civil Service, quoted by Radio Mozambique on Monday.<\/p>\n

According to the official, during the inspection 3,240 \u201cghost employees\u201d were discovered, most of whom were detected in the education, health and defence and security sectors.<\/p>\n

According to Biza Novela, when questioned about the workers who did not take the life test, \u201cthe sectors themselves sometimes could not even say who the employees were\u201d, and meanwhile, \u201cevery month resources were drained\u201d for the payment of salaries.<\/p>\n

Since 2015, the Mozambican government has been electronically verifying the proof of life of all state employees, as a measure to end the payment of salaries to fictitious workers.<\/p>\n
