The Auditor General, Daniel Yao Domelevo, has debunked claims by the Ghana Audit Services Board that he owes around $ 4,020 for travel abroad in 2018..
It issued the disclaimer after a letter signed by the Chairman of the Audit Service Board, Professor Edward Dua Agyemang, said his findings show that Mr. Domelevo did not post an advance of $ 4,020, other than the daily allowance. total of $ 1,641 you received.
Mr. Domelovo pointed out in a counter-statement that, according to Sections 2 (3) and 7 of the Public Finance Management Act of 2016 and the Regulation of the Audit Service of 2011 (CI 70), he is not responsible to the President of the Audit Service.
“Read Sections 2 (3) and 7 of the Public Finance Management Act of 2016 and you will realize that the mandate that you and the Board intend to have under the Audit Service Regulations 2011 (Cl 70) is that of the Chief Spending Officer. I am not responsible to you. ”
He also indicated that “I do not even have a pesewa pending for any advance or advance that I took for any of my trips.”
Furthermore, he questioned the authority with which Professor Edward Dua Agyemang interrogates him. According to Domelevo, the mandate of the Board had expired.
“I also wonder why he continues to serve as Chairman of the Board after the expiration of the Board’s term on October 16, 2020, against Section 5 of the Audi Service Act 2000 (Act 584). Until he presents evidence of his re-election in accordance with article 189 (1) and section 5 (1) of Law 584, I consider that he is acting ultra vires and I will treat him as such. ”
The Auditor General, who is currently on extended leave, said the Audit Service request is derogatory to the court as the question of whether the audit the Board conducted was correct has not yet been determined by the court.
