Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The World Bank has provided a $10 million grant to support South Sudan\u2019s launch of a biometric payroll system. The project aims to combat corruption and reduce fraudulent \u201cghost worker\u201d claims within the country\u2019s public service.<\/p>\n

The $34 million project will establish a biometric database of public servants, ensuring accurate salary management. It is expected to run for a period of four years.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy integrating the biometric verification system with the country\u2019s payroll, we aim to mitigate the risk and unethical payroll activities, particularly the control of potential ghost workers,\u201d stated Public Service and Human Resource Development Minister Dak Duop Bichiok.<\/p>\n

South Sudanese officials expressed hope that the system will improve financial transparency and encourage further World Bank support.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we are for this country, we must implement this biometric program so that our people will get their allowances from the World Bank, the same way they are supporting Somalia and other countries,\u201d Bichiok added.<\/p>\n
