Auditor General to be fired?

At press time, reports reaching ADM were pointing at a possible shake-up at the Auditor General's Department where the oath of secrecy seems to have gone to the dogs after "the release" of an interim report on government's accounts to the Minority Leader Alban Bagbin before it was presented to Parliament.

A source at the Auditor General's Department told ADM that the release breached not only the oath of secrecy, but also has serious implications on national security.

The Auditor General is therefore ordering an investigation into how come the Minority Leader colluded with civil servants to abuse the oath of secrecy.
