Top Mahama appointees face possible dismissal over missed asset declaration deadline

Several senior government officials risk being removed from office after failing to comply with President John Mahama’s March 31, 2025, deadline to declare their assets.

The directive, issued earlier this year and reinforced with an extension, was part of the President’s renewed push for transparency and accountability in public service.

Despite the clear warning, some high-ranking presidential appointees and staffers have not submitted their asset declaration forms to the Auditor-General.

Among those who missed the deadline are:

Nathan Kofi Boakye, Director of Operations at the Presidency
Seth Emmanuel Terkper, Presidential Adviser on the Economy
Larry Gbevlo-Lartey, Special Envoy to the Alliance of Sahelian States
Nana Yaa Jantuah, Presidential Staffer
Charles Kipo, Director General, National Investigations Bureau
Dr. Peter Boamah Otukunor, Presidential Adviser on Agriculture and Agribusiness
Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, Policy Adviser, Political
Kofi Okyere Darko, Presidential Adviser on Diaspora Affairs
