The Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII) has called on some key public officials to declare their assets and liabilities as stipulated in the 1992 Constitution to help fight against corruption. The key public officials included: the President of the Republic, the Vice President, Speaker of Parliament, the two Deputy Speakers of Parliament, Members of Parliament, and any other Minister whose appointment had been endorsed by Parliament and had since been sworn into office. This was contained in a press statement signed by Mr Vitus A, Azeem, Executive Director of GII and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Tuesday. It called on public officials who have left office following the December 7 elections to declare their assets and liabilities to the Auditor General as required by the 1992 Constitution. The officials included the former President, the Vice President, Speaker of Parliament, all Members of Parliament who were in office up to the December 7 2012 elections, Ministers of the previous administration whether re-elected or not and other public officers whose appointments came to an end in December 2012.
