According to Kwaku Azar, the Board must be immediately dissolved, adding the members are not fit for any position of that nature.

“Their actions are sad and they are disgracing themselves and the president. The Board has gone rogue and must be dissolved immediately because they are not even fit to be a board over a mini shop,” he said.

The Auditor-General was directed to proceed on a 167-day mandatory leave and was expected to resume on Wednesday, March 3, 2021.

However, a letter signed by the Chairman, Professor Agyeman Dua popped up on Tuesday, March 2, 2021, challenging the age and nationality of Auditor General, Daniel Domelovo.

The letter indicated Mr Domelovo was due for retirement in June 2020 as his date of birth is 1960 and not 1961.

The letter also accused him of being a Togolese and not Ghanaian.

This they said was based on personal records available to the Public Service of Ghana.

Reacting to the development on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, Prof Azar said the letter lacks credibility.

Describing it as malicious and scandalous, he stated it was a deliberate attempt to run down the Auditor General.

“Since when has the Board been charged with the responsibility of auditing the citizenship and age of the Auditor-General?” he quizzed.

He added: “It is about time the President stood firm for people to know his position as to whether he sides with the Board or not but there must be a dissolution to send a signal that such things won’t be tolerated.”

The Audit Service Board has since sparked controversy about his age and nationality on social media.

The board indicated Mr Domelevo was due for retirement in June 2020 and is a Togolese per record available to them.

Meanwhile, musician A Plus, who champions a political project dubbed ‘The Peoples’ Project’, used the lyrics of reggae legend Bob Marley’s Small Axe song to express his thought on the matter.

He posted:

The Minority’s decision comes after the Board appointed a private firm known as K&A Accounting Services to audit the foreign travels of the Auditor-General, as well as that of other top management staff of his office.

Although Mr Domelevo has written to Parliament to challenge the decision, the Board has still not made any attempt to halt the process.

A Member of Parliament’s Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee, Rockson Dafeamekpor has described the Board’s attempts as unconstitutional.

He said if allowed to proceed, the Board’s action would be an illegality and an attempt to usurp the powers of Parliament.

The Auditor-General, who at the beginning of the year asked to proceed on accumulated leave is expected to resume office soon.

Speaking to the media, the South Dayi MP explained that article 187 (15) vests the power to audit the accounts of the Auditor General in Parliament.

He also disclosed that he intends to raise the matter on the floor of Parliament later this week to gauge the mood of the House.

Mr Rockson, however, served a notice that he will not hesitate to go to court should need to stop the Audit Service Board from perpetrating what he described as ‘an illegality’.
