Declare your assets within 7 days, Prez Mills
directed
Abdul Salam Sule, Ghanadot
Accra, Feb 24, Ghanadot - The
President, Prof John Evans Atta Mills has directed all
government appointees to immediately declare their assets in
accordance with the assets declaration instrument.
In a statement issued by the presidency, henceforth, all
appointees must declare their assets within 7 days of their
appointment.
The statement added that receipts issued by the auditor
general should be presented personally by the appointees to
the president’s secretary for confirmation.
Presidential Spokesperson, Hon. Mahama Ayariga,
however, said
that the decision to cut the period officially
allocated for assets declaration should not cause any
controversy because Ministers were able to write out their
CV’s in much shorter periods of time.
According to him, though the stipulated time frame
was still
six months, the President was of the opinion that a
lot of things could happen within the six months and as such
did not want to give anybody any opportunity in the
intervening period.
Hon. Ayariga noted further that the requirements on the form
did not require too much of ministers and as such noted that
the task could be finished within the
required time period.
He however noted the decision was
“in keeping with the President’s commitment to ensure
accountability by all public office holders appointed by
him.”
The new directive
now brings to rest the debate
about public officials declaring their assets.
Many believe that the declaration will reduce corruption in
the public sector and make government officials more
accountable.
