During an interview on JoyNews' AM Show on Monday, April 8, 2024, Domelevo urged the President to release the report to the public transparently, without any attempts to conceal its findings.
He warned that any further delays in releasing the report could lead to negative perceptions about the Presidency among the public.
"What I expected was that immediately the report was ready, it should be made public because the accountability is not to the President but to the people of Ghana. The money is people’s funds. So anytime those reports are ready, they must be put in the public," he said.
