Lawyer and governance expert, Dr Eric Oduro Osae says the immediate past Auditor-General had a “good working relationship” with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo during his term in office.
According to him, despite his ‘forced’ retirement, Daniel Yao Domelevo always respected the President who influenced him to take the job some years back.
“He has no hatred for the President and has never said anything evil about him despite all the happening,” he said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show, ‘Ghana Montie’.
Adding that, “Mr Domelevo himself knows the President is not against the fight of corruption”.
The corruption fighter, Daniel Yao Domelevo was recently asked by President Akufo-Addo to retire because records made available to the latter by the Board of the Audit Service indicated that he had passed the retirement age of 60 years.
The Audit Service Board also stated that Domelevo was allegedly aTogolese, and was therefore not qualified for the job, but the president left that out of Domevelo’s termination letter.
This was after the president had forced Domelevo to go on a 167-day accumulated leave, and was about returning to work on 2 March.

The corruption fighter, Daniel Yao Domelevo , this credential to his name was presumably true at the bigining of his work as Auditor General. Most of us was his fan and thought he was definitely going to make his mark. Along the line he appeared to be biased in exercising his duty more so as to please the former President Mahama who in the very last minute of his term for a concealed purpose appointed him to that office. Then, the rush and the urgency of that appointment at that material time leave more room to speculate. Reflecting on Domelevo's corruption allegations, for me, it was hastened and shabbily executed. It looked as if he was only interested in providing propaganda ammunitions for the NDC to fire at the NPP. Why then should the President keep him in office when his retirement is officially due and the credibility gap regarding his performance is in question.
