The Programmes Officer at the Center for Democratic Development-Ghana (CDD-Ghana), Vera Abena Addo, has lauded President for taking firm action against public officials who failed to comply with asset declaration laws.
She described the move as a significant step toward promoting accountability and strengthening good governance.
According to the CDD-Ghana official, asset declaration is not a mere bureaucratic formality, but a preventive measure intended to reduce corruption and promote transparency. "Public service comes with certain compromises, and those who accept such roles must be willing to subject themselves to public scrutiny," she indicated.
She emphasised the importance of civic education in fostering a culture of compliance. "Educating citizens, especially in schools and communities about the responsibilities of public officials can help deepen understanding of the need for asset declarations.
