Mr. Daniel Yao Domelevo, former Auditor-General of Ghana, has stated that Ghana needs a leader who has track record.
According to him, the only indicator to help the positive transformation of the country was electing a trustworthy leader with the ability to make a bold decision, accountable, and equitable to all Ghanaians.
“We need a leader with a track record. Some leaders play with our brains and because they can speak English, they speak plenty of English and people start clapping for them; they think it is English we use to develop a country, then Ghana would have been a developed country on earth,’’ said Mr. Domelevo.
The former Auditor-General, who is an astute Accountant and currently serves as a board member of the Global Fund, advised Ghanaians to elect a leader who is a ‘father for all’, ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
Speaking during the Scarface of Corruption, organised by crusaders against corruption, in Koforidua, Mr. Domelevo urged the youth to vote for a leader who can uphold the rule of the country.
Mr. Domelevo stated that Ghanaians should look for fairness, accountability, trustworthiness, honesty, equitability and a leader who respects the views of the citizenry – attributes he claimed bring good results.
Speaking on the topic: “a nation in a sinking ship,” the Leader for Crusaders against Corruption, Chief Crusader Emmanuel Wilson Junior, indicated that corruption cases in Ghana are alarming, adding that the country loses about three (3) billion dollars annually due to corruption.
Touching on the importance of the programme, the Lead for Crusaders Against Corruption, Chief Crusader Emmanuel Wilson Junior, said the programme was to discuss the effects of corruption and its consequences on the economy.
He explained that the ‘Crusaders Against Corruption is a Civil Society Organisation (CSO), which was formed to build and strengthen state agencies for good governance practices and promised to extend the crusade to all the regions.
