Cabinet has approved a new National Ethics and Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NEACAP) to guide Ghana’s anti-corruption efforts from 2026 to 2030.

President John Dramani Mahama announced the development at the Civil Society Forum held at the University of Ghana on June 25, describing it as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen accountability and rebuild public confidence in governance.

He noted that the approval follows the earlier National Anti-Corruption Action Plan launched in 2015, which ran for a decade. According to him, the new framework is designed to address gaps identified in the previous strategy and improve the country’s anti-corruption response through broader stakeholder engagement.

President Mahama explained that the updated plan was developed after extensive nationwide consultations and is intended to reinforce ethical governance practices across public institutions.

He added that Cabinet’s approval signals renewed commitment to transparency and responsible leadership, emphasizing the need to restore trust between government and citizens.

In addition, the President disclosed that Cabinet has directed the Attorney-General to draft a State Assets Protection Bill for consideration by Parliament. The proposed legislation, he said, will set clear rules governing the disposal and management of state property, including lands, buildings, factories, and other public assets, to prevent arbitrary or improper transactions.

According to him, the bill is aimed at ensuring that decisions involving state assets are properly regulated and guided by law rather than left to discretion.
