The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has made it quite evident that his administration will not stand for government personnel acquiring state assets.
This comes after worries that certain public servants may have acquired and owned state property during the present administration.
In remarks made on Sunday to media in Accra, he said that “Appointees and public office holders must change their attitudes. That is what we’re going to insist on that people that we appoint are modest people, they are humble, they will open up to the people, and they’ll do the things that will make the lives of our young people better. And so we’re gonna hold them to a higher criteria of service. You must not go and buy state property.”
“Anybody serving in my government will not be allowed to buy a state asset. Nobody serving in my government will buy a state asset. Vehicles or cars or buildings or land or anything, nobody serving in our government will be allowed to buy a state asset.”
