Daniel Yaw Domelevo, the immediate past Auditor-General has disclosed that President Akufo-Addo encouraged him to accept the position as Auditor General after former President John Dramani Mahama appointed him in 2016.
“In fact, in 2016 when I was appointed, and I was confused as to whether I should accept or reject [it], a call came through from Dr. Matthew Opoku Premeph and after greeting him, he said, ‘hold on for the [then] President-elect’. So Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo encouraged me, he said, ‘Go and take the job’. That is why I am very grateful to him,” Daniel Yao Domelevo told worshippers during his Thanksgiving Mass at the Christ The King Catholic Church in Accra on Wednesday to mark the end of his embattled service to the nation.
He added that “our relationship [with President Akufo-Addo] has been cordial since then and I am grateful to him for his support”.
Domelevo continued: “As the bishop has said, we are here to thank God and we are here to do that irrespective of what has happened…I would like to thank former President John Mahama who appointed me as the Auditor-General of Ghana. I thank him for the opportunity to serve my motherland. I would also like to thank President Nana Akufo-Addo for working with me.”
