The Auditor-General, Daniel Yaw Domelevo has hit back at critics, saying he does not care if he is removed from office.
Mr. Domelevo had said public discussions of the work of the Audit Service must be based on principle and not personalities.
The Auditor-General has come under intense political scrutiny for some of his works; on Kroll and Associates and GETFund particularly.
However addressing the 3rd Regional Auditors Biannual Conference in Ho, Daniel Yao Domelevo admonished all auditors to be steadfast and resolute in their service to the country irrespective of the backlash.
“Once you do good in society, society will not like you. Especially in our country Ghana, we have lived with the wrongdoing to the point where we have accepted it as a norm. We will continue doing our work and I will like to say have courage. You need the courage to discharge your work. Be courageous. Nobody will kill you. The only thing that will happen is that you will lose your job and it is not the end of life. You may be transferred but that is not the end of life.
“Some people will say we will remove him like how we removed Charlotte Osei. Who says I care? I do not care so if today I have been told I have been removed that is it. Life does not end here. I tell my children they should not worry, at worst my father has a lot of farmlands. I will go and farm and feed this country so please be courageous and do your work for God and country.”
