President John Dramani Mahama has officially declared his assets, submitting the required forms to the Auditor-General at a brief ceremony at Jubilee House on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.
This move reinforces his commitment to transparency, accountability, and anti-corruption efforts, aligning with Ghana’s Public Office Holders (Declaration of Assets and Disqualification) Act, 1998 (Act 550).
March 31 Deadline for Appointees
As part of efforts to enforce good governance, President Mahama has given all government appointees until March 31, 2025, to declare their assets or face removal from office.
“All appointees must comply with the asset declaration requirement by March 31, or risk dismissal,” the President stated firmly.
This directive affects all ministers, deputy ministers, and other high-ranking officials, ensuring they disclose their properties, bank accounts, and financial interests in line with the law.
Promoting Transparency & Public Trust
President Mahama’s move signals a strong stance against corruption, reinforcing his administration’s goal to build public trust in governance.
By holding appointees accountable, this initiative is expected to enhance transparency, curb illicit wealth accumulation, and promote ethical leadership in government.
