President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Mr Daniel Domelovo as the new Auditor-General.
A letter sighted by citifmonline.com, signed by the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, said the appointed took effect from 23rd December, 2016.
The letter said Mr Domelovo had to confirm his acceptance of the appointment by Wednesday, 28th December, 2016.
“His Excellency the President, John Dramani Mahama, acting in consultation with the Council of State, accordance with Article 70 of the 1992 Constitution, has appointed you as Auditor-General with effect from 23rd December, 2016.”
“Until the approval of the Report of the Prof. Boandoh Committee on Emoluments, the salary and allowances payable to the facilities and privileges available to you shall be indicated in the Prof. Ewurama Addy Committee Report”
“The provisions of the Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution relating to the removal of from Office of a Justice of the Superior Court of Judicature Shall apply to you.”
Mr Domelovo’s appointment comes after President Mahama’s appointment of a new Commissioner for the Commission of Human Right and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) as well as the National Commission on Civic Education (NCCE).
The President, who will be leaving office in about two weeks has come under heavy criticisms for his appointments which many say are deliberate attempts to sabotage the incoming New Patriotic Party (NPP) government led by Nana Akufo-Addo.
Anti-corruption crusader, Martin Amidu haS described the appointments as a “midnight appointments” that goes to confirm his belief that the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) is a looter government that do not deserve to remain in office.

MAHAMA APPOINTMENTS TO CHRAJ, NCCE, AUDITOR GENERAL AND OTHERS, AS WELL AS NEW CONTRACTS WHICH THEY CAN INFLATE THE COST CONFIRM HIS CORRUPT NATURE. HE IS DESPERATE TO COVER UP IF HIS CORRUPT DEEDS, FEARING THE NEW GOVERNMENT WOULD YIELD TO THE CALL OF GHANAIANS TO INVESTIGATE HIS CORRUPT DEEDS. THE LOOPHOLE IS A VERY BAD PRACTICE IN GHANAIANS POLITICS AND WE SHOULD NOT SIT DOWN UNCONCERNED AND LEAVE THE MATTER IN THE HANDS OF ONLY POLITICIANS AND THE GOOD WILL OF AN OUTGOING PRESIDENT. THERE SHOULD BE LAW IN GHANA EITHER BY AMENDMENT OR BILL TO RESTRICT AN OUTGOING PRESIDENT AND GOVERNMENT TO SIGN ANY NEW CONTRACTS OR MAKE APPOINTS AND RECRUITMENT AFTER ELECTIONS IF SUCH VACANCY OR NEED HAS EXISTED MORE THAN ONE MONTH BEFORE THE ELECTIONS. THE REASON IS THAT IF THE VACANCY OR THE NEED HAD EXISTED OVER ONE MONTH BEFORE THE ELECTIONS AND THE PRESIDENT, HIS GOVERNMENT AND THE NATION HAD COPED WITH IT THEN THE SAME PRESIDENT AND HIS GOVERNMENT AND THE NATION SHOULD BE ABLE TO COPE WITH THE SITUATION FOR THE REMAINING ONE MONTH BETWEEN THE ELECTIONS AND THE HANDOVER TO THE NEW GOVERNMENT.
Mahama thinks he is very smart. Constitutionally it is the auditor general's report which should be used to prove a case of corruption right?
The most corrupt prez ever in the political history. Haha Joke of a president.
Those you appoint will remove pure and simple.Ghana is not for your grandfather. We all know you a trying to cover something.
We don't care what you say. Mahama will remain President of Ghana will all the functions and responsibilities until midnight of 6th January. The same people criticizing him were praising Kuffour of which Akuffo Addo was a part of it.
Mr president, I think your advisors have done you a great deal of harm.You will end up leaving the seat with a great deal harm leaving speculators a lot to speculate about ,this will decrease your chance for a second attempt greatly.
PLEASE APPOINT MR.MARTIN AMIDU AS AN IDEPENDENT PROSECUTOR TO DEAL WITH MAMAHA MAHAMA AND HIS GANG OF LOOTERS.MAHAMA USED 4MONTHS TO RIG THE ELECTIONS IN 2012 YET HE COULD NOT USE4YEARS TO BEAT NANA AGAIN BECAUSE WE WERE VIGILANT AT THE POLLING STATIONS.CREATE LOOT AND SHARE GOVERNMENT YOU WILL VOMIT EVERY PESEWA. ALL LAST MINUTE APPOINTMENTS WILL BE REVOKED EDE BEE KEKE ONAAPO
It is now clear to all ghanaians that the looter govt led by mahama dont ve ghana at heart at all,knowing well the embezzlement`s under his regime couple up with corrupts ministers the man is on the grips for the last straw
EVERYBODY SHOULD UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE WORRIES OF MAHAMA ABOUT CHRAJ, NCCE, AUDITOR GENERAL AND THE OTHER APPOINTMENTS. HE KNEW OF WHAT HE HAS DONE AND HE THINKS HIS APPOINTMENT WOULD HELP HIM TO COVER UP IF THE NEW GOVERNMENT YIELDS TO THE CALL OF INVESTIGATION OF THE CORRUPT DEEDS OF MAHAMA GOVERNMENT. WE WAIT TO SEE HOW THINGS MIGHT UNFOLD IN THE NEW ADMINISTRATION. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE LAW IN GHANA THAT AN OUTGOING GOVERNMENT CANNOT APPOINT ANYBODY TO ANY OFFICE IF THE POSITION IN QUESTION HAS BEEN VACANT FOR MORE TIME, UP TO THE DAY OF ELECTIONS, THAN THE REMAINING PERIOD BETWEEN THE DATE OF THE APPOINTMENT AND THE TIME TO HANDOVER. IF THE OFFICE HAD BEEN VACANT FOR SOME DAYS OR MONTHS BEFORE THE ELECTION WHY CANT THAT OFFICE BE VACANT FOR THE REMAINING DAYS BEFORE THE NEW ADMINISTRATION
MAHAMA CAN EVEN DO YAYA JAMMEH THIS LAST MINUTE .HE WILL STILL GO DOWN IN GHANA,S HISTORY AS THE WORST PRESIDENT THIS COUNTRY EVER HAD.MR.ONE TERM PRESIDENT
