The Crusaders Against Corruption, Ghana (CACG), has called on President to enforce the law requiring public officeholders to declare their assets publicly before assuming office.
In a statement released on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, the group cited Article 286 of the 1992 Constitution, which mandates that specific public officials declare their assets and liabilities before taking office.
This, they emphasised, is a vital mechanism for promoting transparency, accountability, and integrity within the government. "The Crusaders Against Corruption, Ghana, urges President to prioritize the enforcement of Article 286 of the 1992 Constitution, which makes it mandatory for certain public officeholders to declare their assets and liabilities before taking office. "This article serves as a crucial mechanism to promote transparency, accountability, and integrity within our government.
According to Article 286(1), all public officeholders, including the President, Vice President, Members of Parliament, ministers, ambassadors, and judges, are required to submit a written declaration of their assets, liabilities, and interests to the Auditor-General," the statement read.
