The Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee (IMCC) on Decentralisation Secretariat has alleged that its former Executive Secretary, Dennis Edward Aboagye, attempted to have key findings removed from a forensic audit report, including those relating to a bank account that recorded transactions worth more than GH¢102.2 million.
In a statement issued on July 27, 2026, the Secretariat claimed Aboagye requested a meeting held on July 18, 2025, at the office of one of his lawyers.
According to the Secretariat, the meeting was attended by the current Executive Secretary after an invitation was conveyed through Aboagye’s lawyer and a mutual acquaintance.
The statement alleged that during the meeting, Aboagye appealed for portions of the forensic audit report to be removed, particularly findings relating to two bank accounts.
The Secretariat stated that one of the accounts recorded transactions totaling GH¢102,256,802.69 but was not captured in the official handing-over notes submitted at the end of his tenure.
It further alleged that Aboagye also requested the removal of findings concerning PNY Investment Limited, BMABA Enterprise and GAPTE from the report.
According to the Secretariat, the current Executive Secretary rejected the requests and allowed the audit process to continue without interference.
The allegations were made in response to comments Aboagye made during an appearance on Ekosiisen on Asempa FM on July 21, 2026, which the Secretariat described as containing “significant inaccuracies and unsubstantiated statements.”
The Secretariat also disclosed that the 2025 forensic audit found Aboagye and the institution’s Accountant jointly responsible for several financial and administrative irregularities, including authorising or facilitating transactions that allegedly breached established procedures.
It said Aboagye was allowed to respond to the audit findings before the report was finalised.
According to the statement, the completed audit report has since been forwarded to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for further investigation and any necessary action.
“The audit findings have been submitted to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for necessary action,” the statement noted.
The Secretariat also dismissed Aboagye’s claims that the current Executive Secretary acted under political influence or used the audit process to target him, insisting that the exercise formed part of routine governance and accountability measures.
It further called on Aboagye and relevant law enforcement agencies to facilitate the return of official documents, including the handover notes he referenced during his radio interview, stating that the records are not currently in the Secretariat’s possession.
