President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his commitment to enforcing strict sanctions against appointees who violate the Code of Conduct for public officials.

In a national address on Wednesday, May 7, President Mahama warned that any breaches by his appointees would be met with firm disciplinary action.

President Mahama emphasized that he would take swift and decisive action against any appointee found to have breached the Code, underscoring his administration’s commitment to preventing waste, promoting integrity, and reinforcing public trust in government.

“…I will bring down the hammer swiftly and strongly if they breach any of these provisions,” Mahama reiterated.
