President John Dramani Mahama has issued a definitive directive to all government appointees who have not yet fulfilled their legal obligation to declare their assets. The President has set a final deadline of Wednesday, May 7, 2025, emphasizing that non-compliance will lead to dismissal from their positions.
This action is a continuation of the administration’s commitment to enforcing transparency and upholding asset declaration laws. The directive follows an earlier deadline of March 31, which was reportedly not met by all appointees.
Addressing attendees at the launch of the Code of Conduct for government appointees in Accra on Monday, May 5, President Mahama underscored the importance of adherence to these regulations. He stated, “If by close of day, Wednesday, 7th May 2025, any of you still fails to declare your assets, count yourself automatically dismissed because when it comes to protecting the integrity of this government, I will not compromise.”
Furthermore, President Mahama announced financial penalties for those who failed to meet the initial March deadline. These penalties include the forfeiture of three months’ salary and a mandatory one-month donation to the MahamaCares Fund.
