Occupy Ghana sued the Attorney General and the Auditor General for refusing to surcharge persons who are said to have misappropriated monies belonging to the state to the tune of over GHc40 billion.

Occupy Ghana in 2014 wrote a letter to the Auditor General reminding it to surcharge such persons or face them in court.

Below are all three reliefs granted by the court;

1. The Auditor-General must issue disallowance and surcharge in respect of all monies found to have been expended contrary to law.

2. The Auditor-General must take steps to recover all amounts lost to the state, and this covers private persons.

3. Attorney-General must ensure enforcement of the orders including criminal prosecution where necessary.
