President John Mahama has directed all ministers in his administration to declare their assets as part of efforts to curb corruption.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of the first six appointed ministers at the Jubilee House on Wednesday, January 22, the President emphasised the importance of transparency and accountability in governance.
“I expect all of you to begin the process of declaring your assets,” he instructed, adding that the Chief of Staff would soon announce a cut-off date by which all eligible appointees must submit their asset declaration forms to the Auditor-General.
President Mahama stressed that this measure is critical in preventing corruption and ensuring that public officials adhere to the highest standards of integrity.
He warned that it cannot be "business as usual" in his government and urged the ministers to embrace fairness and openness in all their dealings.
He also assured the public that anti-corruption institutions would be strengthened to investigate and address any breaches of the law by appointees.
The President reiterated his commitment to working with the newly sworn-in ministers, pledging to provide them with the support they need to serve Ghanaians effectively while upholding principles of good governance.
