Mahama Swears in Ghana’s First Female Auditor General

President John Dramani Mahama has sworn Dr. Pamela Graham into office as Ghana’s first female Auditor General, describing her appointment as timely given the public’s demand for transparency and accountability.

She replaces Mr. Johnson Akuamoah Asiedu whose tenure has ended.

President Mahama has underscored the central role of accountability and strong institutions in Ghana’s governance and economic transformation, stressing that the effective management of public resources remains critical to national progress.

Speaking at the swearing-in of the new Auditor-General, Dr. Pamela Graham, he noted that restoring macroeconomic stability, expanding social investments, and accelerating development initiatives depend on integrity, efficiency, and discipline in public financial management.

He further emphasized that audit reports must go beyond statutory compliance to serve as practical tools for strengthening governance, improving internal controls, and eliminating waste.

“The strength of every democracy is measured not only by those who govern but also by the institutions that hold governments accountable.”
