Former Auditor-General, Daniel Domelevo, says he is saddened that the Office of the President is at the forefront of breaching Ghana’s constitution.
His comments follow the Supreme Court’s ruling that described as unconstitutional the directive for him to proceed on leave in June 2020.
Speaking on Top Story on Joy FM, Mr Domelevo noted that as the highest office of the nation, the presidency ought to know and act better, adding that it was unfortunate that the Office of the President dismissed his position on the matter on the basis that he was not a lawyer to appreciate the issues.
Mr Domelovo in response to the ruling said, “this is the verdict that has finally come and it confirms my the position that the office was not doing the right thing. If you remember what the secretary to the President wrote to me; he said because I am not a lawyer I may not appreciate the issues in there. I am very happy that the highest law enforcement body has taken the same position as the view that I held.”
He added that “I am sad that the office of the Presidency which is the highest office of the state, is the one who is at the forefront of doing unconstitutional things. I will advise that going forward that office should respect the constitution and the laws of the country.
