Former Auditor-General Daniel Yao Domelevo has urged the current Auditor-General, Johnson Akuamoah Asiedu, to take a bold step toward transparency by publishing a monthly list of public officials who have declared their assets. "There is nothing wrong with the Auditor General updating us month by month on the assets of public officials.
No law prohibits that. "He is not going to disclose the content of what has been declared to him, but he should publish every month.
That is going to be fantastic," Domelevo said in an interview with Citi News.
Citing the Constitution's requirement for public officials to declare their assets before taking office, Domelevo called on President Mahama to lead by example in addressing growing concerns of non-compliance. "Given that the constitution says that the declaration should precede the taking of office, I will wish that the president takes a cue from the misbehaviour of his appointees," he added.
