The General Comptroller's Office of the Republic has discovered the presence of several deceased individuals on the State payroll after cross-referencing data with the Electoral Tribunal. The deceased were listed on the payrolls of various ministries. In an immediate response, the salary corresponding to the second half of October 2024 has been withheld for these individuals.
This irregular situation was detected during an information exchange between the Comptroller's Office and the Electoral Tribunal. A measure has been taken to withhold the salaries of deceased workers in coordination with the Ministry of Economy and Finance. The Comptroller's Office emphasized the importance of keeping State payroll information updated to avoid such situations.
One of the spokespeople for the General Comptroller's Office of the Republic stated: "It is essential to maintain efficient control of the State payrolls to ensure the proper use of public resources. This detection is the result of efforts to improve transparency and effectiveness in public administration."
The withholding of the salaries of deceased employees is a preventive measure to correct this situation and prevent public funds from being improperly diverted. The Comptroller's Office will continue to closely monitor this case and take the necessary actions to rectify such irregularities in the State payrolls.
