President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Harvard-trained lawyer and academic Dr Abdul-Baasit Aziz-Bamba as Acting Director-General of the Value for Money Office.

The legislative mandate empowers the agency to enforce prudent public spending, eliminate financial waste, and ensure all government expenditures deliver tangible socio-economic benefits to the public.

Dr Aziz-Bamba brings over 16 years of legal practice and consulting experience to the role. Before his appointment he served as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana School of Law.

He is the founder and Managing Partner of Azizbamba & Associates. He has built a strong reputation as a prominent legal mind and public policy consultant.
