The Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) has begun interrogation of at least sixteen (16) newly recruited staff of the St. Dominic Hospital, Joynews has gathered.

Sources say the BNI invited the workers to assist with investigations of the alleged payroll fraud at the facility following Joynews' expose.

The staff spent almost the whole day at the offices of the BNI in Accra, where they were drilled to questions such as when they were recruited by the Hospital and when they detected their salaries had been backdated by the accountants.

The intercepted memo

Joynews’ Kwetey Nartey intercepted a memo in which some accountants of the St. Dominic Hospital at Akwatia in the Eastern Region connived to dupe the state by backdating salaries of workers at the hospital.

The officers: Yaw Opoku Agyei, Emmanuel Amanie, Samuel Owusu Saforo and Daniel Augustine Bimpong were interdicted by the management of the Hospital following the discovery.

They were transferred to a facility where they are helping with investigations of the matter.

Management of the Hospital has since notified the Controller and Accountant General’s Department about the issue.

Joynews can confirm that at least 36 of the staff had their employment details tampered with and backdated dating back to 2010.
