Domelevo resumes duty, refuses to comment on controversies
The Auditor-General, Daniel Yao Domelevo showed up
at his office at the Audit Service Headquarters in
Accra at 8:20 am amid tensions with the Audit
Service Board.

Today marked the end of the controversial 167-day
accumulated leave he was forced to take from July
1, 2020, to March 3, 2021.

Mr. Domelevo has however refused to comment on
matters surrounding his forced leave or the
current controversies.

The Audit Service Board has questioned Mr.
Domelevo’s nationality and his age.

The Board is claiming Mr. Domelevo should have
retired in 2020.

In a series of letters between the Chairman of the
Audit Service Board, Prof. Edward Dua Agyeman and
Mr. Domelevo, the Board alleged that records at
the Social Security and National Insurance Trust
(SSNIT) provided by the Auditor-General indicated
that his date of birth was in 1960.

But Mr. Domelevo holds that his date of birth is
June 1, 1961, because the 1960 date was a
mistake.

He said he noticed that the 1960 date of birth was
a mistake when he checked his birth details in the
baptismal register of the Catholic Church in
Adeemmra.

The board also said records also showed that the
hometown of Mr. Domelevo is Agbetofe in Togo but
was now Ada in the Greater Accra Region.

Addressing the Togo links, Mr. Domelevo said his
grandfather was a native of Ada in the Greater
Accra Region but migrated to Togo and stayed at
Agbetofe.

“I was born in Kumasi and my mother in less than
three weeks after my birth, returned to Kwahu
Adeemmra and I was baptized in June 1961,” Mr.
Domelevo added.

Despite the responses, Prof. Dua Agyeman has said
the retired health professional will be considered
a retired official whose tenure expired in June
2020.

He said his outfit will be relying on the
available records.

“As far as we know, the documents are authentic,
our information is authentic, he should have
retired in 2020, and therefore he is deemed to
have retired,” Prof. Dua Agyeman said.
