President John Dramani Mahama has introduced a comprehensive Code of Conduct aimed at promoting integrity, accountability, and discipline among political appointees.
Unveiled on Monday, the Code sets clear ethical standards for ministers, public officials, and heads of state agencies, reinforcing President Mahama’s commitment to restoring public trust and curbing corruption in government.
The Code of Conduct lays out strict rules on issues ranging from gift-taking and asset acquisition to conflict of interest and official travel.
Notably, it prohibits appointees from accepting gifts from individuals or organizations with vested interests in government decisions. Any gift valued above GH¢20,000 must be declared and, upon leaving office, surrendered unless specifically authorised by the President.
In a move to prevent abuse of power and insider advantage, the Code also bars all political appointees from purchasing state assets either directly or indirectly. Violations, the document states, will result in immediate dismissal.
