President John Dramani Mahama has emphasized his commitment to taking firm action against any of his appointees who breach the newly introduced Code of Conduct for public officials.

The Code, which was announced on Tuesday, May 6, is part of the government’s larger initiative to promote professionalism, ethical behavior, and integrity within public service.

In his national address on Wednesday, May 7, President Mahama made it clear that any violations would not be tolerated and would lead to strong, immediate consequences.

“I have left my appointees in no doubt that I will bring down the hammer swiftly and strongly if they breach any of these provisions,” he declared.

The Code includes clear guidelines, such as banning the use of public funds to buy festive hampers and restricting the acceptance of gifts over GHC20,000.00. Its aim is to reduce waste, encourage integrity, and increase public trust in the government.
