Former Auditor-General Daniel Yaw Domelevo has been appointed as the new Board Chairman of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
The appointment was announced by President John Dramani Mahama. Mr Domelevo is widely respected for his strong stance on accountability and fiscal discipline.
As Auditor-General, he uncovered several financial irregularities in the public sector, a record that won him praise from civil society organisations and governance experts.
His controversial exit from office in 2021 sparked concerns over institutional independence and the fight against corruption.
He was a member of President John Mahama's Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee that was tasked to collect data and provide recommendations to the President for further action on possible cases of corruption.
The committee eventually presented its report to the Attorney-General, who is working to start prosecutions.
