VIDEO: Ghana’s President Mahama Officially Declares Assets

In a significant move aimed at promoting transparency and accountability in public office, President John Dramani Mahama has officially declared his assets to the Auditor-General.

The declaration was made public on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at the Jubilee House.

The asset declaration, a requirement under Ghana’s Public Office Holders (Declaration of Assets and Disqualification) Act, provides a detailed account of Mahama’s financial holdings, properties, and other assets.

In a brief statement, Mahama emphasised the importance of transparency in rebuilding public trust.

“In times past, I would privately present these forms to the Auditor General in fulfillment of my statutory obligation. I have taken the step of presenting these forms publicly as a way of injecting some openness and transparency into the process of asset declaration.

 

“I have maintained that while it is all well and good to punish corruption, a more effective way of addressing the canker is preventing it from occurring in the first place.

“I honestly believe that if properly created and enforced, the asset declaration can become a sustainable tool for tackling corruption,” he stated.

 

The president further urged all government appointees to follow his leading in declaring their assets or risk being sacked from office.
