Give Auditor General Powers to Prosecute – Lawyer

A private legal practitioner, Alex Gyamfi has suggested to the government to amend the constitution to give the Auditor General the authority to prosecute.

His comment is in reference to the various infractions captured in the 2021 Auditor General’s report implicating a number of public institutions in Ghana.

“I think the law should be amended,” Gyamfi said on The Forum – Asaase 99.5 Accra’s news analysis and current affairs show on Saturday (3 September).

“I think the auditor general while being an accountant should be a judge,” he said. “There are serious issues that people must answer for. Until we do that, we’ll come back and be chasing nothing. I think the law should be amended.
