President Nana Akufo-Addo has finally declared his assets at the Auditor General’s Department, fulfilling a constitutional requirement.
He declared his assets on January 24, 2017, a day after the Department said it was impossible for him to do so because the office had run out of receipt booklets.
Sources at the presidency had indicated that the President was shocked and highly disappointed when he was told that the receipts which are issued as proof of assets declaration have run out, and they were unsure when some would be made available.
Citi News further learnt that, when the presidential staffer asked the officials to call on the office of the President when the receipt booklets are ready; he was again told that even the landline phones at the Department were not functioning – which means placing that call to them, would be difficult.
The officials of the Auditor General’s Department were not aware that the request was being made on behalf of the President, who wanted to declare his assets.
Following his swearing-in as President on January 7, 2017, the President was eager to visit the office of the Auditor General’s Department, to fulfill the constitutional requirement of declaring all his assets.
The Auditor General’s Department, has a mandate to promote transparency and accountability in the country’s governance system, to help deal with the ever worsening corruption menace much more effectively.
President Akufo-Addo has campaigned strongly on transparency and accountability, and appears to be leading by example.

Unfortunately YOUR ndc never passed the RTI bill, otherwise you could just walk up to the auditor general and demand a copy. Thank John Mahama for that and stop being mischievous!

***barred word*** news. When you say the man has declared his assets, what we as readers are interested in is what he declared and whether it is a true reflection of his assets. A story about shortage of receipt books is an entirely different story. Stop wasting people's time with your silly way of reporting.
These staff at the Auditor General's Dept must be sacked with immediate effect. We need to start being firm on corrupt officials not only on politicians.
