Ministers, Deputies declare assets

All Ministers and Deputy Ministers of State have now declared their assets to the Auditor-General, according to an interview granted the Graphic.

About 100 Members of Parliament have also declared their assets, while the newly appointed District Chief Executives, Presiding Members and other public office holders have collected assets declaration forms, Kwao Aidoo, Secretary of the Audit Service Board, disclosed to the paper on Tuesday.

Mr Aidoo said the public office holders have been flocking the offices of the Audit Service, for the past three weeks, to collect the forms, describing the trend as a positive development in the attitude of public office holders saying, "they are all coming on their own to collect the forms".
