Former Auditor General, Daniel Yaw Domelevo, is calling for swift and decisive action against government officials who failed to meet President John Mahama’s asset declaration deadline.
According to Domelevo, the president must immediately sack all appointees who ignored the March 31, 2025 deadline to submit their asset declaration forms, a legal requirement designed to enhance transparency and fight corruption.
Earlier this year, President Mahama issued a firm directive to all public officials under his administration: declare your assets or risk being removed from office.
The move was widely seen as a strong stance on accountability and clean governance.
However, despite clear instructions and ample time, several key figures failed to comply. Their names, now public, have sparked intense debate across the country about leadership ethics and the rule of law.
Among the officials reportedly in breach of the directive are:
- Nathan Kofi Boakye
- Seth Terkper
- Larry Gbevlo-Lartey
- Nana Yaa Jantuah
- Charles Kipo
- Dr. Peter Boamah Otukunor
- Samuel Ofosu Ampofo
- Kofi Okyere Darko
Domelevo insists that letting these individuals remain in power would undermine public trust and contradict the very essence of good governance.
He emphasized that asset declaration is a fundamental responsibility that ensures officials don’t use public resources for personal enrichment.
He argues that if the president is truly committed to fighting corruption, this is the moment to prove it by enforcing consequences, not issuing empty threats.
Now, all eyes are on President Mahama to see whether he will uphold his promise and remove the defiant appointees.
The situation has ignited a national conversation about integrity in public service and the importance of enforcing accountability—no matter who is involved.
