Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>AT least 15,538 civil servants, who had either forged or presented fake certificates on their education backgrounds will not be reinstated back to their old jobs, the government has said.<\/p>\n

Briefing reporters here on Friday, Minister of State in the President\u2019s Office (Public Service Management and Good Governance), Mohammed Mchengerwa maintained that the government will not restore to their former positions public servants, who lied their way into securing government slots.<\/p>\n

The minister was categorical that civil servants who had forged their Form Four certificates to earn themselves positions in the government will not be reinstated as it was earlier claimed by some media reports.<\/p>\n

Instead, Mr Mchengerwa insisted that such an exemption will only apply on 4,380 public servants, who were mistakenly removed from the government\u2019s payroll, during the fifth phase government.<\/p>\n

This includes Village Executive Officers (VEO), Ward Executive Officers (WEO) and street executives, whose number equates to 3,114, according to the minister.<\/p>\n

Such an exemption, according to Mr Mchengerwa, only targeted civil servants who had been employed by the government after May 20, 2004, who had no Certificates of Secondary Education Examination (CSEE) as issued by the National Examination Council of Tanzania (NECTA), but still qualified for their jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government had already made it clear about the fate of those who forged their certificates in the good name of securing government jobs,\u201d the Minister explained.<\/p>\n

Apart from not being reinstated, those with forged documents will also not be entitled to any kind of benefits, he said.<\/p>\n

According to Minister Mchengerwa, the government has already paid 2.6bn\/- worth of arrears to 1,643 civil servants, who have since been reinstated to their workplaces.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose were paid were mistakenly removed from their workstations and the government will continue to assist those who were unlawfully removed from their payrolls,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the government has saved a whopping 19.4bn\/- in \u2018ghost workers\u2019 purge.<\/p>\n

This is after it had identified 19,708 on-existent workers who were milking the government dry.<\/p>\n

Five years ago, the government removed more than 10,000 \u201cghost workers\u201d from its public sector payroll after a nationwide audit found their fraud cost the government over 2 million US dollars (about 4.5bn) a month.<\/p>\n
