President John Dramani Mahama says government is working to amend the constitution to make the process of assets declaration by public officers more transparent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe constitutional amendment we are moving is for those declared assets to be made available to the media through\u00a0possible publication; and that\u2019s being done to make it more transparent. But even in this current regime, any person who wants to challenge the assets declared by any public official is allowed to do so with a court order or a petition to CHRAJ to contest those declared assets; and the assets declared\u00a0will be made available to that particular institution to investigate\u201d.<\/p>\n

The president however noted that any Ghanaian can demand to know the assets declared<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>by public officials with a court order or a petition to the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) under the current law.<\/p>\n

This comes on the back of renewed calls on Ghanaian politicians to follow the example of Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari and declare their assets publicly.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”PV1ve8nRQ7BpxfpmuoBYYdyxwSC2MFz0″]<\/a> Speaking at a joint press briefing at the Peduase Lodge during a one-day working visit by President Buhari that mainly discussed security in the sub-region, President Mahama clarified that Ghana\u2019s current laws on asset declaration makes it possible for any Ghanaian to scrutinize the assets declared.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut once we amend the constitution, it will make it mandatory that anybody who goes to\u00a0request the assets declaration forms from the Auditor General, would have to be given those assets declared and all that will make it more transparent\u201d the President noted.
