It is all lip service, just a bunch of hypocrites and thieves. Why would they declare assets when it is all ill-gotten wealth that does not match their income? JJ/ NDC’s principles of “transparency, probity and accountability” is all noise, they are not committed to it.

The question is, what are the steps to be taken, if the MPs don`t listen and follow the laws of the country?

It is a foundamental fact that ever since these criminals dough to pay any tax to the state. Upon all the extras that they receive, they are still rubbing our country and knocking it down.

Mahama professes to believe in a corupt-free government. he has the power to ensure that the people he appoints to positions of authority declare their assets as required by law.

Let us wait and see what he will do in in the next couple of weeks.

The media also has a role to play in this tango officials are taking Ghanaians through. It should not be too much for a media house to dedicate space to follow up on who and who have declared their assets. they should keep it running to let Ghanaians know who are in default of declaring their assets.

If these politicians do not declare their assests as they are required to do under the constitution then they are breaking the law. They should be investigated by police and prosecuted for law breaking.

Whenever it comes to their benefits, ESB, etc., etc., the MPs vigorously CITE the applicable constitutional articles to support their claims.

But, Lo & Behold, when it comes to "Assets Declaration", also in the constitution, THEY RUN FOR THE TALL GRASS—WHY, MPs?? Didn’t you take an OATH to support & defend the constitution? Don't use the constitution ONLY when it benefits you and not when it requires you to also do something. That’s HYPOCRISY on steroids.

If you guys and gals are not there to STEAL, then why be afraid to declare your assets? So, when Ghanaians say you are THIEVES, they are damn right.

Our parliamentarians also disburse government funds i.e Common fund, Getfund, Hipc funds, NHIA funds etc. Has anybody questioned why these funds are not audited? If our M.P's who are members of the PAC can question people on the utilisation of government funds, then they should also submit themselves for auditing since they also disburse government funds.

We as a people have been too relaxed on issues concerning our own appointees as if they are rather appoint us.
There is too much illiteracy and ignorance in our system and it has offered a fertle grounds to politicians to take for a ride.
We always boast we appointed or voted for them but we dont have any authority over them.
Left to me alone, the whole country should lift our voices to ensure that the declaration is done but it is likely to find some of us working against this demand of the law.
I am really not motivated anymore to make any imput to national discourse.

Who will force these inept rats to declare their assets? There is nothing in the so-called "constitution" that bothers them because the same constitution did nothing in the past to those before these MPs so, why now?

Since Nkrumah right down to the current administration, which of them have the guts to declare his assets and force his ministers etc to do the same?

This is a clear manifestation that we cannot rule ourselves. When we implement the right policies, corruption will be a thing of the past and there are those who cannot live under such "clear weather". They prefer fuzzy or cloudy weather just to ply their illicit trade.

The idiots in authority are quick to enforce the provision of the constitution which seeks to disenfranchise a segement of the population which makes foreign exchange easily accessible to the country, yet they turn a blind eye when it comes to impoverished MPs who become fabulously rich overnight just for becoming MPs os ministers. Their tenure as MPs and ministers are not guaranteed and yet award themselves $50,000 car loans,are given 5 years rental subsidy even when some of them are boycotting parliamentary proceedings.These bastards will continue to take us for ride because no one holds them accountable.When it comes to amassing illegal wealth MPs from all the political are guilty. Their bloated sense of entitlement should be deflated.They shoul not be paid until they declare their assets.

Even if they declare, they will still cheat and corrupt the system. Does the Constitution stipulates they can't acquire equity while in office? Now instead of keeping their ill-gotten money home(Ghana), they'll send it abroad through family, friends and made up or phony businesses. They only thing we will not see is their extreme, careless lavish way of lives until they're out of office. It will be get all you can for one term and resign to spend your goose.
