President John Dramani Mahama has nominated public finance expert Pamela Graham for the position of Auditor-General, subject to consultation with the Council of State.
The nomination, conveyed by the Secretary to the President, is in line with Article 70(1)(b) of the 1992 Constitution, which requires the President to seek the Council’s advice before making a final appointment.
Sources indicate that the move forms part of broader efforts by the Presidency to strengthen financial oversight and rebuild confidence in key governance institutions.
Pamela Graham is said to bring extensive experience in public financial management, auditing, and institutional governance, along with a strong reputation for integrity and professionalism.
The role of the Auditor-General is central to Ghana’s accountability framework, with responsibility for auditing public accounts and ensuring compliance with financial laws and regulations across state institutions.
The Council of State is expected to consider the nomination in the coming days and advise the President accordingly.
If confirmed, Graham will take over from Johnson Akuamoah Asiedu, who has served as Auditor-General since his appointment in September 2021.
