Petitioners protest yet to be released KPMG audit

The petitioners in the ongoing presidential election petition are demanding an urgent meeting with the referee appointed by the Supreme Court to audit pink sheet exhibits.

The meeting, they insist, is to rectify anomalies found after the audit by KPMG.

The referee was expected to complete the audit of the pink sheet exhibits by Friday June 21, and was to provide a final report to the court on Monday.

The audit became necessary when the respondents claimed to have received far less than the pink sheet exhibits the petitioners claimed to have filed before the court.

Hearing was postponed for nearly ten days, to allow the referee conclude its audit.

However, before KPMG submits its final report to the court, the petitioners claim the referee has failed to organize a meeting with the parties to discuss the draft report submitted to them.

In a letter signed by a member of the Counsel for the petitioners, Akoto Ampaw, the petitioners say that the meeting is of essence especially when the final report by KPMG is saddled with numerous anomalies.
