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 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.”
