President John Dramani Mahama on Monday, May 5, 2025, publicly declared two vehicles he had received as gifts and immediately handed them over to the state.

The declaration took place at the Jubilee House shortly after the official launch of the Code of Conduct for Political Appointees—a new policy framework designed to strengthen ethical standards and combat corruption within government.

The code outlines clear provisions on gift declarations, conflict of interest, asset disclosure, and the responsible use of public resources, marking a major step in the Mahama administration’s commitment to promoting integrity and accountability in public office.

The handover was witnessed by a small group of senior government officials and presidential staff. The two vehicles were observed being driven and inspected on the Jubilee House premises before their official transfer to the state.

This gesture forms part of a broader effort by President Mahama to strictly enforce asset declaration protocols across his administration.

Earlier in the day, the President issued a firm warning to political appointees who have failed to declare their assets, stressing that they face immediate dismissal if they do not comply by the final deadline of Wednesday, May 7, 2025.

Under the new directive, defaulters will also forfeit three months’ salary and be required to donate one month’s salary to the MahamaCares Trust Fund—a newly established initiative that provides financial support to individuals living with chronic illnesses across the country.
