President John Dramani Mahama has issued a firm directive to all Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) across the country to declare their assets by July 15, 2025, in accordance with constitutional requirements.
Speaking at a national orientation and training programme for MMDCEs in Accra on Wednesday, President Mahama stressed the need for transparency and accountability in public office.
“I wish to remind you that you are among the officeholders required to declare your assets, and so I expect that by July 15, all of you will have declared your assets,” he stated.
The directive is anchored in Article 286 of the 1992 Constitution, which mandates public officers to declare their assets before taking office and upon leaving.
Since returning to office in January 2025, President Mahama has prioritised asset declaration as a key tool in the fight against corruption and a means of rebuilding public trust in governance.
He revealed that all his ministers and appointees had already complied with the law and warned of sanctions for defaulters among the MMDCEs.
“Anyone who fails to comply will face the necessary consequences, just as some appointees have already experienced,” he cautioned.
