Former President John Dramani Mahama isn’t playing games this time around. At a recent address at Jubilee House, he made it clear that transparency isn’t optional in his second coming.
Here’s a quick breakdown of his latest shake-up:
1. Missed the asset declaration deadline? Say bye to 3 months’ salary
If you’re a Mahama appointee and didn’t declare your assets by March 31, 2025, you’re forfeiting three months of your salary. That cash is going straight into the Mahama Cares medical trust fund.
2. Final warning: Declare by May 7 or get fired
Mahama isn’t mincing words. Anyone who still hasn’t declared their assets by close of day May 7, 2025 is automatically out of a job. No long talk, no second chances.
3. Why so serious? It’s about fighting corruption
For Mahama, this isn’t just paperwork. He called asset declaration a “critical measure in the fight against corruption” and a way to hold leaders accountable from day one.
4. The Auditor-General is watching
Mahama revealed that the Auditor-General had already submitted a report listing appointees who didn’t comply. So if you’re thinking of hiding in the shadows, forget it—the system is tracking you.
5. Transparency is non-negotiable
In Mahama’s words: “The asset declaration regime is an important mechanism to check corruption and abuse of office and must be respected by all.” In short: if you want to serve, you must be clean.
