In a bold step toward transparency and accountability, President John Dramani Mahama has officially declared his assets to the Auditor-General, making his financial holdings public for the first time.
The declaration, made on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at Jubilee House, is part of efforts to restore public trust and curb corruption in government.
President Mahama stressed that the move was meant to set a new standard for public officials and ensure accountability in governance.

“In the past, I would privately present these forms to the Auditor-General as required by law. However, this time, I have decided to do so publicly to promote openness and transparency in governance.”
He reiterated his belief that preventing corruption is more effective than punishing it after the fact, urging government officials to comply with asset declaration laws.
“While punishing corruption is important, the real fight lies in preventing it before it happens. A properly structured and enforced asset declaration system can be a powerful tool in this regard.”
Mahama also issued a firm directive to all government appointees, giving them until March 31, 2025, to declare their assets.
“I have instructed the Chief of Staff to ensure that all government officials declare their assets before the end of the first quarter. Any appointee who fails to comply will face serious sanctions, including possible dismissal.”
The move signals Mahama’s commitment to accountability, reinforcing his administration’s stance against financial misconduct and abuse of office.
