Mr Akufo-Addo’s action follows an indication by the Audit Service Board that Mr Domelovo has overstayed in the workforce as his retirement caught up in June last year.

“Akufo-Addo will go down as perhaps the worse leader we’ve had in the fight against corruption because of the move against Mr Domelove.”

Mr Kwakye wants Ghanaians and civil society organizations to ensure public officials like Daniel Domelovo are protected.
