The President,  John Dramani Mahama has officially declared his assets.

The President of the Republic today, February 18, 2025 submitted the required forms to the Auditor-General at a brief ceremony at Jubilee House.

“Earlier this morning, I undertook a simple yet significant task of submitting my completed Asset Declaration forms to the Auditor General, as mandated by Article 286 of the 1992 Constitution and the Public Office Holders (Declaration of Assets and Disqualifications) Act 1998 (Act 550),” he announced.

He noted that “I have publicly presented the forms to promote openness and transparency in the asset declaration process. I have always argued that, while it is commendable to punish corruption, a more effective approach to tackling the problem is to prevent it from arising in the first place.”

According to him, “If appropriately curated and enforced, the asset declaration process can serve as a sustainable tool for combating corruption.”

” I have also taken this step to send an unequivocal signal to all public office holders, particularly those I have appointed, that I regard the declaration of assets with utmost seriousness and expect full compliance from them,” the President concluded in a post
