President Akufo-Addo has officially retired Auditor General, Mr. Daniel Yao Domelevo.
This follows after the Audit Service board alleged that Mr. Domelevo had changed his date of birth on the records of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) from June 1, 1960 to June 1, 1961.
“Records made available to the board indicate that your date of retirement was 1st June 2020 and as far as the Audit Service is concerned you are deemed to have retired.
“By a copy of this letter, the board is informing the President who is your appointing authority, to take necessary action,” a letter signed by the Chairman of the Audit Service Board, Professor Edward Dua Agyeman, and addressed to Mr. Domelevo, said.
Mr. Domelevo, however, insists that his correct date of birth is June 1, 1961 and that the initial 1960 stated was a mistake which had subsequently been rectified and duly recognized in all his official documents.
Well, the President in response to the Audit Service Board letter has asked Mr. Domelevo to retire as Auditor General. In the letter signed by Secretary to the President, the President has appointed Mr. Johnson Akuamoa-Asiedu to take over as acting Auditor General until the President appoints a substantive Auditor General.
“Based on the information, the President is of the view that you have formerly left office. Mr. Johnson Akuamoa-Asiedu will continue to act as Auditor-General until the President appoints a substantive Auditor General, ” part of the statement said.
