President John Dramani Mahama has issued a strong warning to all government appointees, stating that failure to declare their assets by the end of the first quarter of 2025 will result in severe penalties.
The President made this announcement on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, after officially submitting his own assets to the Auditor-General, Johnson Akuamoah Asiedu, at the Jubilee House.
In a brief but firm address following the submission, Mahama urged his appointees to comply with the constitutional requirement, emphasizing that asset declaration is crucial for promoting transparency and combating corruption.
“Any appointee who fails to meet the asset declaration deadline will face serious sanctions, including possible removal from office,” he cautioned.
This directive underscores Mahama’s commitment to accountability and good governance, reinforcing his administration’s stance on integrity in public service.
The President’s mandate aligns with Article 286 of the 1992 Constitution, which requires public officials to declare their assets upon assuming office.
