Auditor-General, Daniel Yaw Domelevo has suggested a restructuring of state institutions to ensure efficient and effective service delivery.
To him, many of Ghana’s public service providers are a duplicate of each other, a situation he believes accounts for their poor modes of operations.
Citing the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health (MoH) and Ghana Health Service as examples, he stated that employees at such agencies enjoy taxpayers’ money at the expense of quality service provision when their jobs are being already done by others.
The Auditor-General has in the past bemoaned what he called the decline in the quality of work undertaken by all kinds of Ghanaian professionals.
He said the standards in professions such as accounting, auditing, engineering and vocations such as tailoring and dressmaking have fallen low to the extent that Ghanaians prefer the services of expatriate professional workers.
Mr. Domelevo attributed the worrying trend to lack of discipline of Ghanaian workers. He explained that, the ‘fundamental’ problem of Ghanaians as it stands now is a lack of discipline.
