Head of the Resource and Data Centre (RDC) of the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), Johnson Owusu Kagya, has stated that enumerators who have not returned their tablets and other gadgets will not get paid.
According to him, it was clearly stated in the contract between the GSS and the enumerators.
In a report filed by 3News, Kagya stated that payment would be done upon return of all the tools in possession of the census officials.
He further revealed that about 80 percent of the enumerators have already been paid their allowances.

Kagya said the 20 per cent left to be paid has to do with being sure that they don’t pay the money to the wrong people, and they also expect enumerators to submit their returnable items.
“There could be instances where people will tell you if you don’t pay me, I will not give you your tablet, but it is the other way round, we should get the tablet first before payment is done. What if we give you the money and you also don’t bring the items?”
