President John Mahama has directed all ministers and appointees to comply with the Asset Declaration process or risk losing their positions.
The President issued this directive after officially declaring his assets at the Jubilee House on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.
He warned that any appointee who fails to comply by the end of the first quarter of 2025 will face removal from office.
Reaffirming his administration’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and good governance, President Mahama emphasized that the declaration aligns with Article 286 of the 1992 Constitution, marking a significant step toward strengthening public trust and promoting ethical leadership.
“In the past, I would privately submit these forms to the Auditor-General to fulfill my statutory obligation. However, I have now chosen to make this process public as a demonstration of openness and accountability in governance.
“While punishing corruption is important, a more effective approach is preventing it before it happens. If properly implemented and enforced, asset declaration can serve as a sustainable tool in the fight against corruption,” Mahama stated in a remark.
The move underscores his administration’s stance on anti-corruption efforts and financial integrity.
