Former President John Dramani Mahama believes that by the time Auditor General Yaw Domelevo runs out of his leave period, a new person will have been appointed to fill the gap.

Daniel Domelevo has been on a cumulative leave of 167 days since July 1, 2020.

According to Mahama, there is no way for Domelevo to return to office as Nana Akufo-Addo is hell-bent on relieving him of his duties as Auditor General.

John Mahama told GHOne’s Serwaa Amihere that Domelevo is dead and will be replaced before his license ends.

Mahama, who spoke about the Akufo-Addo-led government’s history of corruption, said Martin Amidu’s resignation and the decision to force Domelevo off leave are proof enough of how badly the government has acted in regards to to the fight. against corruption.

“Martin Amidu has decided to resign due to corruption in the government. Look at the harassment of the Auditor General because he was investigating Kroll and Associates.”

Serwaa Amihere intervenes: “But he’s on leave.”

Mahama responds: He is on leave and you think he will return. Who changes your lock when you go on leave? If you go on leave and they change your office keys, does it indicate that you are going to return? I ask.

John Mahama opined that the fact that Akufo-Addo did not allow institutions to deal with corrupt people in his government is an indication that he, too, is corrupt.

“It is obvious that this government is swimming in corruption. As president, you have to work with a diverse group of people and you are not responsible for their moral education, but when corruption occurs, it is your duty to leave them to the corruption agencies, but when you interfere in the work of the agencies then they are showing that they are corrupt, ”he said.

John Mahama at a rally in the Northern Region on November 29, 2020, assured that President Akufo-Addo and some relatives came to the government to enrich themselves.

“They have shown that they came to power on their own. Nana Akufo-Addo said that if you take office to make money, her government is not the place to be and you should be in the private sector, ”Mahama said at a rally in Kakpagyili in the northern region’s Tamale Sur constituency. .

“Look at all your relatives making money, they are not in the private sector. They are ministers and occupy government positions and yet he does not have the gall to fire anyone. When people get involved in acts of corruption, you suspend them and the next time you see them they have come back, he has tied the hands of all the institutions of corruption, “said Mahama.
