In Mr. Domelevo’s letter to the Secretary to the President Nana Asante Badietuo, Mr. Dormelevo indicated that, he has begun his one month leave for the year 2020 starting 1st July, 2020 not the 123 days accumulated leave as directed by the President of the Republic.
The office of president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has responded to the Auditor-General Mr. Daniel Yaw Domelevo of his letter regarding accumulated leave of 123 working days.
In a letter signed by the Secretary to the president Nana Bediatuo Asente, the Auditor-General Mr. Daniel Yaw Domelevo’s letter which is yet to reach the office of the president sought to create a different impression in the public domain leaving the subject matter astray.
According to the office of the president, Mr. Daniel Yaw Domelevo’s acculturated leave covers 2016 to 2019 making a total of 123 working. The letter further added that, the actual acculturated leave including 2020 would have been 167 working days since he resumed office as the Auditor-General.
This banter between the office of the President and the Auditor General Mr. Daniel Domelevo has been trending on Twitter for many days now.
Below are some of the reactions from Ghanaians
With all due respect, the tone of this letter from the Office of the President of Ghana to the Auditor-General, Yaw Domelevo isn't presidential enough. My President shouldn't be seen engaged in a spat with anyone, let alone in the public domain.#NotSoPresidential pic.twitter.com/2BGKLa0rHo

This is why they asked the Auditor General to go on leave so that a compromised person can help Osafo Marfo escape justice.
Akufo-Addo is just something else. I have not seen his kind before. Corruption is his middle name. pic.twitter.com/2HIWIkDB7z

The president’s letter seems to settle parochial scores and not the nation’s interest. This is the first time the president is responding to a circulative letter on social media and even referenced it. Shameful. The Auditor General has become the government’s nightmare. Shocking! pic.twitter.com/Ba3vDdah3Y

An Auditor General who was appointed as a result of unforeseen developments 6days after his boss had lost the General Election, I'm not surprised at his letter issued out to the public trying to deceive us. He even said his deputy should not represent him at Board Meetings..Smh pic.twitter.com/WQc2h89FUq

As shameful as it is on the part of the President, I think the Auditor General should just exit in peace. The fight and shenanigans are not worth it. We all know he did his best but the President is just an unrepentant Godfather of Corruption.
Thumbs up Mr Domelevo.#Newsfile pic.twitter.com/OAuD5bpVTu
