Minister for Gender, Children, and Social Protection and Member of Parliament for Krowor, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, has expressed strong support for President John Mahama’s directive requiring all government appointees to declare their assets, describing it as a critical move toward promoting transparency and accountability in public office.

In an exclusive interview with Ghana Weekend, the Minister disclosed that she complied with the directive even before her vetting.

“Thankfully, as soon as my name came up, I went for the asset declaration form. So by the time I went for my vetting, I had already declared my assets. When His Excellency came with it, I had already done mine,” she said.

She stressed that asset declaration should not be treated as a one-off exercise but rather as a continuous system of checks and balances for public officials.
