The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is alleging that the government is working to ensure the removal of Daniel Domelovo from office as Auditor-General.
General Secretary of the party, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, addressing the press, blames this on a surcharge in excess of one million dollars the Audit Service imposed on Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Maafo.

“Government is scheming to remove the Auditor-General from office because he has dared to take the fight against corruption to the highest levels of the Akufo-Addo government,” he said.
The Economic and Organised Crime Office’s (EOCO) probe of the Auditor-General’s office has been met with stiff opposition from the Auditor-General with some civil society organisations making a case for the Special Prosecutor to rather handle the matter.
The NDC, however, says the government is unhappy with Mr Domelovo’s fight against corruption some of which involves key government appointees, hence the probe by the EOCO with the end game being removal of the Auditor-General.
