That's wat most of this public officers do. It's everywhere. They put their relations name there and pocket the benefits from the name. Corruption of the highest order

Ghost workers has been in vogue, now ghost students have joined the trend. Is it ghost accountants or cashiers that is paying them? if no then its difficult for ghost workers/students to collect money if they do their job well.
