Domelevo backs OSP probe into alleged GH¢70,000 payment to Appiagyei
Former Auditor-General, Daniel Yaw Domelevo, has supported the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) decision to investigate allegations that Deputy Minority Leader and Asokwa MP, Patricia Appiagyei, was offered GH¢70,000 in connection with the vetting of ministerial and Supreme Court nominees.
Former Auditor-General Daniel Yaw Domelevo has backed the Office of the Special Prosecutor's (OSP) decision to probe allegations of a GH¢70,000 payment to Deputy Minority Leader and Asokwa MP Patricia Appiagyei in connection with ministerial and Supreme Court nominee vetting. Domelevo believes the allegations merit an independent investigation, especially given previous instances of MPs being paid for such vetting duties.
He urged the OSP to verify the authenticity of the document circulating, conducted a forensic examination, and scrutinize the purported signature attributed to Appiagyei. The former Auditor-General also expressed concerns over the appropriateness of the Presidency making payments to MPs after their vetting duties, arguing this could create public financial management concerns.
Appiagyei rejects the allegations, describing the memo as "fake news" and maintaining she neither received nor discussed any money related to the vetting process. The OSP's investigation aims to ascertain the document's authenticity and clarify the circumstances surrounding the alleged payment.
