Mahama Submits His Asset Declaration Form to Auditor-General
President John Dramani Mahama has submitted his completed asset declaration form to the Auditor-General, Johnson Akuamoah.
The step is in compliance with Article 286 of the 1992 Constitution and the Public Office Holders (Declaration of Assets and Disqualifications) Act 1998 (Act 550).
This was during a ceremony at the Jubilee House on February 18, 2025.
“Earlier this morning, I undertook a simple yet significant task of submitting my completed Asset Declaration forms to the Auditor General,” he announced in a Facebook post.
According to the President, the public presentation of his asset is geared towards promoting 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.”
He staunchly believes that if appropriately curated and enforced, the asset declaration process can serve as a sustainable tool for combating corruption.
He used the occasion to direct all appointees to comply with the provision by March 31, 2025.
“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.”
