NDC Demands Suspension Of KPMG Audit

The third respondent in the ongoing Presidential Election Petition are demanding an immediate suspension of the ongoing audit of the pink sheet exhibits by international accounting firm KPMG.

A member of the NDC legal team Abraham Amaliba claims the process has been 'compromised' and for which the counting must be suspended.

He said the NDC will make an official complaint before the court on Tuesday.

Amaliba suspects the pink sheet exhibits which is currently in the custody of the court's Registrar has been tampered with.

He told Kaba, host of Asempa FM's Ekosi Sen programme on Monday that two boxes containing exhibits have been added to what was counted on Thursday.

According to him, the NDC representatives in the auditing process noticed the increase in number of boxes and quickly alerted the lead Counsel for the third respondent.

He said with these new numbers the “process must be stopped.”

When asked for specifics as to what the number of boxes were and the new number, Amaliba said he was not there and could therefore not give details.

He said all the Respondents witnesses the “anomaly” but he could only speak for the NDC as well as the President.

Abraham Amaliba is proposing that a new pink sheet exhibits in the custody of any of the Judges should now be used for the audit.

He is convinced the one in the custody of the Registrar has been heavily “compromised.”
