The governor in the statement expressed his disappointment in some officers in charge of generating the nominal and pay rolls in the state in view of the sharp practices prevailing in the MDAs.
It said that it was a common thing to find names of retirees or deceased workers still appearing on the nominal roll.``We are no longer going to tolerate buck passing where someone will claim he is not the one that generates the nominal roll and so does not properly go through it before preparing the pay roll.
``Henceforth too, the nominal and pay rolls must be properly scrutinised by the internal auditors before being signed.
``The system has adequate checks and balances already in place and if not for collusion by concerned public servants, no sharp practices can take place.
