Former Auditor-General, Daniel Domelevo is urging President Akufo-Addo to promptly release the KPMG audit report regarding the revenue mobilisation contract between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML).
Mr Domelevo emphasised that the report belongs to the Ghanaian people and should be released without delay, as it was commissioned using state funds.
He urged the President to prioritise accountability to Ghanaians over shielding any wrongdoing within his government.
In an interview on JoyNews' AM Show on Monday, April 8, Mr Domelevo urged President Akufo-Addo to release the report to the public without any attempts to cover up the findings.
He cautioned that any further delays in releasing the report may foster negative perceptions about the Presidency among the public.
"What I expected was that immediately the report was ready, it should be made public because the accountability is not to the President but to the people of Ghana. The money is people’s funds. So anytime those reports are ready, they must be put in the public."
On January 2 of this year, President Nana Akufo-Addo commissioned KPMG to investigate the contract between SML and GRA, prompted by an exposé by the Fourth Estate.
President Akufo-Addo has since received the KPMG audit report regarding the revenue mobilisation contract between GRA and SML.
The report was delivered to him on Wednesday, March 27, as announced in a Facebook post by Eugene Arhin, the Director of Communications at the Presidency, on Wednesday, April 3.
Mr. Arhin further mentioned that President Akufo-Addo is currently reviewing the findings of the audit report and will, in due course, communicate his decisions to the Ghanaian public.
Subsequently, some Ghanaians have demanded the immediate release of the report. However, Private Legal Practitioner, Mr. Martin Kpebu, has urged Ghanaians to grant the Presidency ample time to release the KPMG report.
He stressed that this approach would ensure that all individuals mentioned in the report have the opportunity to respond appropriately.
