A group calling itself the Coalition for Democratic Accountability and Inclusive Governance (Citizens’ Coalition) is likely to picket at the Office of the Auditor-General today following a notice to the Gt. Accra Regional Police Command weeks ago.
“This action is being organized in protest of the Auditor-General’s blatant refusal to perform his constitutionally mandated duty to disallow unlawful public expenditure and surcharge persons implicated in the 2019 and 2020 Auditor-General’s reports, in direct violation of article 187(7) of the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana (the Constitution’) and the decision of the Supreme Court in Occupy Ghana v Attorney General [2017-2018]2 SCLRG 527.”
This was contained in correspondence to the Regional Police Commander in compliance with Section 1 of the Public Order Act, 1994 (Act 491).
Part of the letter dated August 26, read: “We believe that the Ghana Police Service will recognize the importance of this issue given the current revenue challenges the country is facing.”
All things being equal, the pressure group is likely to occupy the A-G’s office between 9am to 3pm.
