The Akuffo Addo Government must cease its continuous assault on the Office of the Auditor-General

GODFRED-ODAME

The Attorney General takes issue with the publication on the official website of the Auditor-General of the report of a special audit of the government of Ghana’s COVID-19 expenditures covering the period March 2020 to June 2022.  The Attorney-General is of the opinion that publication of the COVID-19 expenditures audit report by the Auditor-General is improper and even unconstitutional.  According to Attorney-General Dame the 1992 Constitution directs the Auditor General to submit his report to Parliament and for Parliament to debate on the report before the report could be deemed final and fit for public consumption. In his view, “The constitutional duty of the Auditor-General to submit his reports to Parliament and Parliament’s consequential  obligation to debate and scrutinize same  will be ‘grossly prejudiced’ by prior publication of the report.” The Attorney-General has, accordingly, made an unprecedented request to the Auditor-General to withdraw the Special Audit report on the COVID-19 expenditures.
