Business News of Tuesday, 21 February 2017Source: classfmonline.comI'll surcharge criminal public officers - Auditor GeneralNew Auditor General Daniel Yaw DomelevoNew Auditor General Daniel Yaw Domelevo has warned that his office will seriously start surcharging public officers who are proven to have misapplied state funds. There is more or less ‘a culture of impunity’ – as you complain about it, they are doing it. From now going the Auditor General is not going to complain to parliament anymore. The decision is theirs to do what the law says and if you are very conversant with that section, it says the Auditor General ‘may’, so, they did not and I am very happy to do it. ‘Shall’ means it’s compulsory, no option but they exercised their discretion of reporting all the offences to parliament instead of taking the action themselves.
