The Minister for Justice and Attorney-General (AG), Godfred
Yeboah Dame has urged the newly-sworn-in members of the board of the Office of
the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to declare their assets.
The AG was speaking at the swearing-in of the board of the
OSP on Tuesday, 21 June 2022, in Accra.
He called on members the board to declare their assets in
accordance with Article 286 of the 1992 constitution, which requires that
public office holders declare their assets.
The AG also stressed on the dire consequences of the failure
of the board to declare their assets.
“I entreat you to be mindful of the duties and
liabilities of a member of the board under section 7 of Act 959.
“A violation of this provision will result in cessation of
your membership on the board,” the AG said.
He added: “May I also remind you of your very important
obligation to declare your assets in accordance with article 286 of the
Constitution as well as the disclosure of interest obligation under section 10
of Act 959, whenever a member of the board has an interest in any matter coming
up for consideration. Faithful adherence to these simple duties holds
far-reaching implications for your record in public life.”
