Auditor General Boss Must Resign – Afenyo-Markins

The member of parliament for Efutu constituency has called on the vociferous Auditor General to either resign or submit to due process in his case against the Board Chair of the Ghana Audit Service.

Alexander Afenyo-Markin said Daniel Domelevo is not being fair by whipping public support in his claim that his work is being interfered with by Prof Edward Duah Agyemang.

According to him, Prof. Dua Agyeman, a former Auditor-General, also attempted to interfere with audit processes and took procurement decisions in his absence.

The President has constituted a committee to investigate the matter.

However, at a recent public lecture, Mr Domelevo advised appointing authorities to refrain from appointing former heads of institutions to chair boards of the same institutions the individuals served as heads.

In addition, the MP said the Auditor – General also revealed to him, that the Board Chairman has also filed counter petition to the president which also forms part of the investigations by the committee set up by the president.

In view of this, Afenyo-Markin called on Domelevo and Prof. Dua Agyeman who are both highly qualified and respected professionals to refrain from public comments on the issue.

The accusations Domelevo is accused Prof. Dua Agyeman, and the Board, of “unlawful interferences and violations” of his constitutional mandate.

According to him, Prof. Dua Agyeman, a former Auditor-General, also attempted to interfere with audit processes and took procurement decisions in his absence.
