The main opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC) has launched into a tirade against the Chairman of the Audit Service Board, Professor Edward Dua Agyeman, saying the latter lacks integrity to occupy his office.
The General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu alleged his integrity was tainted by scandals in the past and does not deserve to hold the position as the Board Chair of the Audit Service.
This comes after the Auditor General, Mr. Daniel Domelevo months ago lodged complaints about interference to his work with the President.
In a five-page petition dated July 27, 2018, sighted by Kasapafmonline.com, the Auditor-General requested the President to intervene in the “unlawful interference” by the Board Chairman and others whom he said, are clothing themselves with powers to direct and control him unconstitutionally.
The President has consequently set-up a committee to look into the petition and report same on the matter.
Addressing a Press Conference in Accra on Tuesday, October,02, 2018 the General Scribe of the party, observed that the country’s strong determination to battle corruption will be a mirage if Prof. Dua Agyeman remains as Board chair.
“It was Prof. Dua Agyeman who in 1983 was banned by the Institute of Chartered Accountants-Ghana from practicing Accountancy and Auditing in Ghana for forging an Audit report for a private firm whose Accounts he’s neither seen nor audited. The person who has been appointed by Nana Akufo-Addo to chair the Audit Service Board and who is being asked to recruit these private firms in the name of Cabinet Committee’s kitty, he’s the person who now has been recycled to chair the Audit service board by Nana Akufo-Addo to fight corruption.
He continued:”It was the same Dua Agyeman, who in 1986 led a team to conduct special investigations and at the end of the exercise presented a false report causing some heads of department to suffer unjustly.”
