Former Auditor-General, Daniel Yao Domelevo, has been appointed as a board member of the Global Fund representing West and Central Africa.
He will be serving on the Audit and Finance Committee of the Global Fund and will be joining 11 others to vote on issues brought before the board.
The board approved his appointment, together with the 11 others on the committee, on 4th May 2022.
The Global Fund is a financing institution which provides US$4 billion annually in support to countries including Ghana to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

President Akufo-Addo in March last year asked the then Auditor-General, Daniel Yaw Domelevo to proceed on retirement after he had just returned from a 167-day forced leave.
In a letter signed by Nana Asante Bediatuo, the Secretary to the President said “The attention of the President of the Republic has been drawn to records and documents made available to this Office by the Audit Service, that indicate that your date of birth is June 1, 1960, and that in accordance with article 199 (1) of the Constitution, your date of retirement as Auditor-General was June 1, 2020,” the letter said.
By extension, therefore, “the President is of the view that you have formally left office.”
It added that Johnson Akuamoa-Asiedu will continue to act as Auditor-General until the President appoints a substantive head.
However, President Akufo-Addo later in May last year reiterated that the former Auditor-General, Daniel Yao Domelevo was not hounded out of office.
According to him, Mr Domelevo’s removal was due to his attainment of the national retirement age of 60.
“There’s a time for retiring which is prescribed by statute, not my making. If you are 60 years old you’re supposed no longer to be able to work in the public service,” he said.
