Flagbearer of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Mr John Dramani Mahama has said if he gets the nod to lead Ghana again, his government will enforce Ghana’s asset declaration laws and further publish the documents for public consumption.
Per the current laws, the to-be- public official is required to fill the Asset Declaration Form from the Auditor General’s department and seal it in an envelope marked secret.
The envelope is not supposed to be opened unless a corruption investigation is being conducted against the official and a court or equal constitutional body orders same.
Auditor General, Daniel Domelevo, since taking office in 2016 waged a war against the process. He argued that citizens cannot ensure the veracity of the declaration if it’s secret.
Speaking at the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission Ghana’s final session of their three-day 88th Annual National Convention in Gomoa Pomadze in the Central Region on Sunday, 5 January 2019, Mr Mahama said he will ensure those sealed documents will be published.
He said: “We’ve seen many officers who have failed to declare their assets over a period of time. We must, therefore, strengthen this asset declaration regime and I said that if Allah shines his grace on me and I ever get the opportunity to lead this nation again, I’ll make sure those asset laws are complied fully with. And also move to make sure that the assets of leading public officers are published so that the public get to know what they own when they entered office and what they own when they left office.”

You made my day. Ma sre saaaaaaaa.
I'm still shocked some human beings use their thumbs to vote for this JM guy. I can't think far as to how he became a president of our dear nation. There will be mass burial if people make mistake and bring him back to power.
Publish all your assets now. Then we can take you serious. if we vote you and u don't do you have only one term u would have deceived us.
THIS IS VERY REASON WHY NDC WILL LOOSE THIS YEAR'S ELECTIONS. HOW CAN ITS CANDIDATE SPEAK LIKE THIS? JOHN MAHAMA SO YOU NEVER SAW THE NEED RATHER WHEN YOU AND YOUR PARTY WENT INTO OPPOSITION? I PRAY THAT, YOU MAHAMA DON'T MISS RAPTURE AND HEAVEN BECAUSE THERE WILL NO SECOND CHANCE FOR YOU. WHAT KIND OF RABBISH ARE THESE.
Come out with your policy and stop this. Ghanaians don't need you again. You have done your part. You gave a whole Bauxite concession to your brother's company.
if Ghanaians had not known this azaaa man Ghanaians would have easily be deceived by this conman, no one should trust this inconsistent man
More promises and more jokkkeeees please Mahama. funny!!! Mahama remains a tthhieff even in opposition
Mahama has no message. He only waits for an issue to crop up, and then he thinks of something that will make the issue popular with the people, and then says he will implement that if given the nod. So far, nothing original has come from him. "I will cancel teacher licensure exams" because he thinks that is what is popular among teachers. Law students are agitating, "I will streamline the law school admission process." Auditor General starts talking of asset declaration, "I will publish the asset declaration documents for public consumption..." What at all do you have to offer?
In your wildest dream!
