The platform, expected to be introduced by mid-May 2020, will ensure efficiency and the collation of detailed information of public officers. He was speaking to journalists at a sensitisation programme organised by the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC) to solicit support for the coalition’s move to reactivate the conversation of the assets declaration of public officials. Assets declarationThe Head of Programmes of the GACC, Mr Bright Sowu, said both the 1969 Constitution and the 1979 Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) had provisions for assets declaration. “The PNDC Law 280 was probably the strongest assets declaration regime, because, then you declared, your spouse declared and 14 days after the expiry date, the Auditor-General was given the mandate to punish,” he stated.
