Osafo-Maafo calls for review of Ghana’s asset declaration law;

Senior Presidential Advisor, Yaw Osafo-Maafo has observed that the current asset declaration regime in Ghana is not transparent.
Under the current regime, he explained, the declared assets remain confidential between the Auditor General and the officers declaring the assets.

This, in his view, makes it difficult for one to challenge the declaration that has been done.
Addressing a forum on open government partnerships and construction sector transparency in Accra, on Tuesday, April 23, he said “In Ghana when you become a minister of state, at all levels, asset declaring is the first thing you do, you declare your asset and file same at the Auditor General. What I personally don’t like about this law is that after you declare the assets everything is kept confidential between the Auditor General and yourself.
