A staggering number of CEOs and board chairs have reportedly failed to declare their assets, ignoring a stern warning from former President John Mahama. The revelation has sparked debates over accountability, transparency, and integrity in Ghana’s public sector.
“Despite clear instructions, some top officials have neglected their constitutional obligations,” sources revealed.
WHO’S ON THE LIST?
The list includes leaders across state-owned enterprises and major boards, highlighting worrying trends in compliance and governance. Public attention has focused on:
- CEOs who manage billions in public funds
- Board chairs tasked with oversight of key institutions
- Officials who face no immediate consequences despite Mahama’s warning
REACTIONS AND BACKLASH
The disclosure has ignited strong reactions:
- Citizens demand strict enforcement and sanctions
- Advocacy groups call for greater transparency and accountability
- Social media users are debating whether Ghana’s anti-corruption measures are truly effective
THE BIGGER ISSUE
Experts warn that failure to declare assets:

- Encourages mismanagement and corruption

“Ignoring asset declaration is not a minor oversight — it’s a serious governance lapse,” a political analyst noted.
The government and oversight bodies are now under intense pressure to act, as calls for transparency grow louder.
