President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to upholding ethical governance, warning that any appointee who violates the newly introduced Code of Conduct for public officials will face immediate and decisive consequences.
Speaking during a national broadcast on Wednesday, May 7, the President emphasized that the Code, which was officially unveiled a day earlier on May 6, is central to the government’s mission to instill professionalism, accountability, and ethical behavior within public service.
“I have left my appointees in no doubt that I will bring down the hammer swiftly and strongly if they breach any of these provisions,” Mahama declared.
The Code of Conduct lays out clear ethical expectations for all public officials. Among the key provisions is a prohibition on the misuse of public funds for seasonal hampers and a strict cap on the value of gifts that may be accepted—set at GHC20,000.00.
This framework is intended to curb wasteful spending, foster integrity, and rebuild public confidence in government operations.
By reinforcing these standards, President Mahama is signaling a shift toward a more disciplined and transparent approach to governance, where ethical lapses will not be tolerated.
