Ghana’s newly appointed Auditor-General, Mr Daniel Domelevo, has rubbished claims that he initially rejected the offer from President John Mahama.
News was rife on December 24, 2016 that Mr. Domelevo had stormed out of Ghana to swerve a purported swearing-in ceremony at the Flagstaff House.
Mr. Domelevo became one of the last-gasp appointees of outgoing President Mahama on Friday, December 30, 2016. After his swearing in at the seat of government he debunked the controversy which surrounded his appointment.
“When the appointment was given me, I thought I had to go back to my previous employers,” he told journalists after sealing his appointment.
“I was with the World Bank. It was not good for them to see on news that I have been appointed so I sought permission to go back before I come in and accepted.”
According to the 55-year-old Auditor-General, there is nothing wrong with the timing of his appointment.
“I don’t think there will be any problems. One of the things about the Auditor-General is his independence. And so if one administration should appoint you for you to work with another administration, it guarantees your independence better.
“I would have wished that the country can even adopt this, that, anytime there is an outgoing administration they appoint an Auditor-General so he is not under the influence of the one who appointed him and he owes no allegiance to the one who comes in. So I think we should thank God for this time.”

Supreme Court has powers to nullify an appointment that has been done in bad faith. Hope you know that
Your name is the exact personally you are selling... The country is for you hence you talk as if you got all the power to even kill an ant.... More greeze to your elbows.
I am sure you are well informed of the fate of the Auditor General who was appointed several months before he exited office and you are well prepared for it. Hmmm, I am sure you have secured another job elsewhere and you just want to enjoy something during your leave time
but dont you you will be tempted to brush things under the carpet when things you audit are going against the one that appointed you? And by the way why did he wait all this while before appointing you. Massa if you are here to wash the dirty laundry clean, you better watch out, for we will descend on you like a ton of bricks
very good one
