The chairman of the 13-man committee, Maurice Vunoboki, said it was also discovered that 1,405 appointments violated executive approvals, while 2,731 irregular employments did not conform to the Teachers Salary Scale (TSS).

“A total of 38,760 in the workforce was cleared and migrated to the e-payment database against 51,369 earlier presented to my committee,” Mr. Vunoboki said. “519 did not turn up for the verification exercise, while 1,780 were under-aged employees, while the balance of 563 were retired by age or years of service”
