Asset declaration: Full list of appointees who complied with Mahama’s May 7 deadline and those who didn’t after The Fourth Estate’s investigations

President John Dramani Mahama, on February 18, 2025, ordered his appointees to declare their assets by March 31, 2025, or face dismissal.

However, by April 17, 2025, at least 55 of them had failed to comply with the President’s directive, which is also enshrined in Article 286 and Act 550.

Following The Fourth Estate’s publication of April 29, 2025, which revealed the list of defaulters, the President, on May 5, 2025, summoned his appointees to the Jubilee House and launched a Code of Conduct for them.

He also gave the defaulters until May 7, 2025, to comply with the law, which aims to ensure that public officeholders do not use their position to enrich themselves illicitly.

The Fourth Estate followed up, using the Right to Information law to obtain data from the Audit Service and provides the compliance list below.

The Fourth Estate can confirm that this is the first time since 2013 that nearly all of the president’s appointees have complied with the law within six months.

In earlier investigations published in 2022, The Fourth Estate found that 27 of President Nana Akufo-Addo’s appointees who served in his first and second terms did not comply with the law. Similarly, 11 from President Mahama’s administration from 2013 to 2017 also failed to meet their constitutional obligation.
