Former Auditor General of Ghana, Daniel Yaw Domelevo, has commended President John Dramani Mahama for insisting that his appointees declare their assets.

He said, however, that the requirement should have been fulfilled before they were sworn into office.

Domelevo made this assertion during an interview on Joy FM's *Super Morning Show* on Thursday, January 23, stressing the importance of asset declaration as a tool for promoting transparency and accountability in governance.

His remarks come in response to President Mahama's directive issued on Wednesday, January 22, during the swearing-in ceremony of six new ministers.
