So, at that point in time, it is a legal liability, it is a debt which is genuine&#8230;so, AFAG, they don\u2019t know what they are talking about\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll never resign because of their pressure. The day I wish I go home; I\u2019ll just walk out of the office. There are two things when I came to office, I\u2019ve said I don\u2019t fear and one is resignation \u2013 leaving my office. I can decide to walk any time but you can\u2019t push me out of my office. That will never happen, not even the president. I won\u2019t go unless he goes through the full steps that the law allows, I\u2019ll not go\u201d, he insisted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe second thing, which is the ultimate for you and me, is death. I said I don\u2019t fear if you want to kill me in my office, I\u2019m ready to die but when I die make sure you don\u2019t die.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghana\u2019s Auditor-General, Mr Daniel Domelevo, has said he will neither resign voluntarily nor be pushed out of office by any pressure group.
