The National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress, Sammy Gyamfi, has called on Ghanaians to speak against what he describes as an ‘assault’ on the independence of the Auditor-General by Justice Minister, Godfred Dame.
On Wednesday, the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice issued a statement virtually directing the Auditor-General to unpublish a report on the audited transactions of the Government on Covid-19.
According to the A-G, the publication of the Report on the website of the Auditor-General, was premature because it had not yet been scrutinised by parliament.
But in a statement on Friday, Sammy Gyamfi explained that Dame’s reservations about the Auditor-General’s report on COVID-19 expenditure is an interference which must be condemned by all and sundry.
According to him, per the laws of the country, the Auditor-General has the right to investigate any matter which he deems necessary.
