‘Anybody Serving In My Govt Will Not Be Allowed To Buy State Assets’ – Mahama
The flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has sent a clear signal to potential appointees of his that, he nobody serving in his government will be permited to buy state assets if he is re-elected as president of Ghana.
The former president’s caution comes in the wake of some government officials purchasing state assets.
Notable among these is the ongoing sale of hotels belonging to the Social Securities and Nation Insurance Trust (SSNIT) to Rock City which belongs to current Food and Agriculture minister and Member of Parliament for Abetifi, Bryan Acheampong.
Former president Mahama who was speaking at a media encounter on Sunday night [July 7] in Accra indicated that “Appointees and public office holders must change their attitudes. That is what we are 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.”
