“The IPPIS Office has not issued any general directive to this effect as there is no reason to do so,” she said. .

She tasked financial institutions to implement necessary strategies to boost customers’ confidence and guarantee efficient fulfilment of their obligations to persons whose salaries are domiciled with them.

She expressed optimism that those agencies were up to their tasks.

She advised workers that may have genuine reasons to change their salary accounts on the IPPIS platform to follow the official procedures.
