Daniel Yao Domelevo, the immediate past Auditor-General has revealed that then-President-elect Nana Akufo-Addo encouraged him to accept the position of Auditor-General when then out-going President John Dramani Mahama appointed him in 2016.
“In fact, in 2016 when I was appointed, and I was confused as to whether I should accept or reject [it], a call came through from Dr. Matthew Opoku Premeph and after greeting him, he said, ‘hold on for the [then] President-elect’. So Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo encouraged me, he said, ‘Go and take the job’. That is why I am very grateful to him,” Daniel Yao Domelevo told worshippers during his Thanksgiving Mass at the Christ The King Catholic Church in Accra on Wednesday to mark the end of his embattled service to the nation.

Domelevo was also grateful to President Akufo-Addo for the opportunity to serve under his administration and his support.
Bishop Gabriel Kumordzie, Catholic Bishop of Keta-Akatsi Diocese, in his homily said: “You have set a tradition, you have set a certain pace and that is one of the things we are thanking God for. We are here to appreciate you (Domelevo) that even for a short while, you have really made a mark. You have demonstrated to the world that indeed Ghana is not over, that there are good people in Ghana.
