The Coalition of Civil Society Organization Against Corruption has expressed its disappointment in what it describes as the ‘forced retirement’ of the former Auditor-General, Daniel Yao Domelevo.
The Coalition in a press release dated Friday, March 5, 2021, stated that the ‘forced retirement’ of Mr Domelevo was constitutionally perverse and sends wrong signals about President Akufo-Addo’s commitment to fight against corruption and uphold the rule of law.
“The Coalition is extremely disappointed about this development, especially the manner in which the matter has been handled by the Presidency acting in concert with the Chairman of the Audit Service Board, Professor Edward Agyapong,” the Coalition stated.
“This action by the Office of the President practically eviscerates the independence of the Office of the Auditor General and other independent constitutional bodies,” the Coalition added.
