THE
MOCKERY OF DOMELOVO’S FORCED RETIREMENT
My
name is Mother Ghana
I celebrated my 64th
Independence Anniversary on 6th March 2021
Because of Covid-19, the
celebration was not accompanied with the usual fanfare
But it was a great
opportunity for my sons and daughters to truly pause and reflect
They need to reflect on
their attitudes - especially their blind loyalty to political parties,
insincerity, corrupt mindset and lack of patriotism; and amend their ways.
My
64th Independence Anniversary was preceded by sadden news
I was sad after reading a
letter dated 3rd March 2021 from the Office of the President
The said letter took the
view that Mr. Daniel Yaw Domelevo has formally left office as the
Auditor-General of Ghana based on some records and documents made available to
the Office of the President by the Audit Service
Consequently, the
President formally retired Mr. Domelevo based on his views.
Mr.
President when and how did Mr Domelevo formally leave office?
What then is the essence
of your letter retiring him from office?
Please why did your
office compel Mr. Domelevo to go for the contentious accumulated leave of 167
working days from 1st July 2020 if he had ‘formally left office’ as
at 1st June 2020?
Please why didn’t you
give Mr. Domelevo opportunity to be heard on the allegations made against him
as you sought to do for persons who were cited for wrongdoing by the former
Special Prosecutor in the controversial Agyapa Royalties deal?
Please don’t you think
your decision to retire Mr. Domelevo from office barely a day after he returned
to his post after faithfully serving his purported 167 accumulated leave was an
embarrassment to him?
Please don’t you think
your decision and its antecedents are disincentive to the spirit of patriotism,
the fight against corruption, and good governance?
I would be grateful if
you could please give my foregoing rhetorical questions pensive reflections.
