Seasoned journalist Kwesi Pratt Jnr has strongly criticized Ghana's asset declaration regime, calling it fundamentally flawed and ineffective in promoting transparency and accountability in public office.

Speaking on Good Morning Ghana on Metro TV, monitored by MyNewsGh, Pratt said: "It's a constitutional injunction on all public office holders to declare their assets, but the regime is problematic. "You write down your assets, file it with the Audit Service, and that's it.

Nobody verifies anything.

It's kept there until a court orders it to be opened.
