Mr Daniel Domelovo, who has been appointed by president John Mahama as the Auditor General, has reportedly declined the offer.

President Mahama has been involved in a series of controversial 'last minute' appointments in the twilight of his presidency.

Mr Domelovo, who is an accountant in Zimbabwe, rejected the offer to avoid controversies, the Editor-In-Chief of the Ghanaian Observer, Egbert Faibille Jnr, has claimed.

Speaking on Newsfile Saturday, he noted that Mr Domevolo might have thought to himself, "I am better off doing my work and not to invite all this brouhaha [to myself]."

He added: "And so he leaves town and the swearing-in that was supposed to have taken off yesterday hasn't come on. I believe that is the end of the road."

He asserted that his claim is on authority and without equivocation

"I am telling you on authority that the swearing in was to take place yesterday...he has rejected this appointment..without equivocation, that is what I can tell you," he stressed.

Mr Domelovo was appointed to serve as the Auditor General by president Mahama in a letter signed by the Chief-of-Staff.

His appointment takes effect on December 23 and that he must confirm his acceptance of the appointment by Wednesday, 28th December 2016.

Egbert Faibille also alleged that the swearing ceremony of Mr Domelovo was scheduled to take place on Friday, December 23 but it did not happen because he swerved out of town to his base in Harare.
