Gov’t To Introduce New Bill To Protect State Assets – Prez Mahama

The Attorney-General Dr. Dominic Ayine has been directed by Cabinet to draft a new bill to strengthen the protection of state assets. 

Speaking at the Ghana Civil Society Forum 2026, President John Dramani Mahama revealed that Cabinet had approved the initiation of the State Assets Protection Bill.

According to him, the new bill is aimed at safeguarding public property and improving accountability in handling of assets owned by the state.

“I’m also happy to announce to you that yesterday, Cabinet took a decision directing the Attorney General to draft a bill for the protection of state assets. It’s called the State Assets Protection Bill. It shows the guidelines under which any state asset can be disposed of, including lands, buildings, state assets, factories, industries, so that no government just capriciously disposes of state assets,” he said.

He also launched the National Ethics and Anti-Corruption Plan 2026-2030, a policy framework to guide efforts to improve the fight against corruption for the next five years.

The acceptance of the anti-corruption plan shows the government’s commitment to improve transparency and restore public confidence, President Mahama says.
