President John Dramani Mahama has asked appointees who have defaulted on declaring their assets by 31st March, 2025 to forfeit their 4 months salary and donate same to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund.

President Mahama made this announcement while unveiling a new code of conduct for public officials on Monday, May 5, 2025. He emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in government, stating that asset declaration is a key tool in the fight against corruption.‎

‎“I gave a clear deadline, and some have not complied. Those who were appointed or nominated before March 31 and failed to meet the deadline will lose three months of their salaries. This is in addition to the one-month salary that all appointees have been asked to contribute to the Mahama Cares Fund.”‎

‎This means those who missed the deadline will contribute a total of four months’ salary to the fund.‎

‎President Mahama further warned, that any appointee who still fails to declare their assets by the close of day on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, will be automatically dismissed from office.‎

‎”However, if by close of day, Wednesday, 7th, May 2025, any of you still fails to declare your assets, Count yourself automatically dismissed” he added.
