The Deputy National Communications officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Godwin Ako Gunn has said that should NDC win power in 2024, the former Auditor General Mr. Daniel Domelovo will not be denied access to serve the country if it deems necessary although he’s above 60 years.
Speaking on Plan B FM morning show dubbed ‘Nkosuo Nsem’ with Nana Yaw Abrompah, Mr. Ako Gunn stressed that, although the Supreme Court has ruled that President Akufo-Addo’s decision to force former Auditor General Daniel Domelovo to go on leave is unconstitutional, if the supreme court had fast-track the process in court it would have been better because “if justice is delayed then justice is denied”
In 2020, Domelovo was compelled by the presidency to take 169 working days of accumulated leave.
The Centre for Democratic Development and eight other Civil Society Organizations who described the move as an affront to the independence of the office applied to the Supreme Court for a declaration that the action by the President was unconstitutional and null and void.
The suit filed in October 2020 was necessitated by the failure of the president to rescind the directive after several appeals.
