VIDEO: President Mahama Sets Deadline For All Appointees To Declare Assets Or Risk Removal From Office

President John Dramani Mahama has issued a stern warning to all government appointees, stating that those who fail to declare their assets by the end of the first quarter of 2025 will face severe sanctions including possible removal from office.

The President made this declaration on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, after officially submitting his assets to the Auditor-General, Johnson Akuamoah Asiedu, at the Jubilee House.

Following the submission, Mahama delivered a brief but firm speech, urging his appointees to comply with the constitutional requirement of asset declaration.

He emphasized that this measure was essential for enhancing transparency and strengthening the fight against corruption.

 

“I have also taken this step to send an unmistakable signal to all public office holders, especially those that I have appointed that I take the declaration of assets very seriously and expect full compliance from them.

 

“I have asked the Chief of Staff to send word to all appointees to ensure that they declare their assets by the end of the first quarter of this year, that is by 31st March 2025. I wish to stress that any appointee failing to meet the deadline will face severe sanctions, not excluding removal from office.”

The President’s move reinforces his administration’s commitment to accountability and good governance, ensuring that public officials uphold integrity in the discharge of their duties.

Mahama’s directive aligns with Article 286 of the 1992 Constitution, which mandates public officials to declare their assets upon assumption of office.
