You cannot fight corruption alone and quietly - Domelevo
Daniel Domelevo

Outgone Auditor-General, Daniel Yao Domelevo has shared his take on the fight against corruption in Ghana.

According to him, corruption is a dangerous enemy and must not be fought by one person.

“If you fight corruption alone, you won’t last. Corruption is one dangerous enemy you can’t fight alone, and you can’t fight quietly. If you fight corruption quietly, you will be finished in a minute”, he said.

He said this when he addressed the congregation at the Christ The King Catholic Church where a thanksgiving service was organised for him.

Thanking all those who helped him during his time at the Audit Service, Domelevo expressed appreciation to Civil Society Organizations focused on fighting corruption in Ghana, indicating that their support was very helpful to him while he was in office.

He said their support ensured that the fight against corruption was waged strongly.

“I must say thank you to the anti-corruption CSOs or institutions fighting corruption [in Ghana]. I am very grateful. They [CSOs] have been with me together with the press. To the press, I am very grateful to you. You have been a big support to me in all that has happened over the years.”

Mr Domelevo did not leave office without drama, after several back and forth President Akufo-Addo on March 3, directed that he retires from the office.
