An Accra High Court presided over by Justice Afia Asare Botwe has found Auditor General Daniel Domelovo guilty of contempt.

The court held that the reason given by Mr Domelovo that he was busy finishing up an audit report for Parliament hence his failure to respond to an appeal seeking to set aside a surcharge is “untenable and an afterthought.”

The Senior Minister, Yaw Osafo Maafo in his application in court asked that Mr Domelovo be punished for failing to respond to his case challenging a $1m surcharge on him within 14 days.

The court granted that request but did not impose custodial sentence.
