John Mahama submits Assets Declaration forms

President John Dramani Mahama on February 18, 2025, submitted his assets declaration forms to the Auditor General as prescribed by law.

The ceremony was carried live from the presidency where the Auditor General and officials from his outfit witnessed the short event.

The president subsequently posted on his Facebook wall: “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).

“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.

“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.”
