President John Dramani Mahama told local government leaders they must handle public money responsibly. He spoke to Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives during a Wednesday training session. The president made clear he would not protect them from corruption investigations. Anti-corruption agencies and the Auditor General will watch their work closely. Leaders who misuse funds should expect no presidential interference.
These officials control 80 percent of the District Assemblies Common Fund directly. Mahama stressed the money belongs to citizens and must serve public needs. Private use of these resources is forbidden. The funds should improve communities rather than personal lifestyles. Transparency remains essential for all spending decisions.
Asset declarations become mandatory for all attendees before July 15. Constitutional requirements demand these officials reveal their financial holdings. The president reminded them about this legal obligation. Compliance with asset reporting shows commitment to honest governance. Meeting the deadline demonstrates respect for public accountability standards.
