Mahama Vows to Discipline Appointees Violating Code of Conduct

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

The Code of Conduct, released on Tuesday, May 6, is part of the government’s broader agenda to promote professionalism, civility, and ethical governance in public service.

Addressing the nation on Wednesday, May 7, President Mahama made it clear that any breaches by his appointees would be met with firm disciplinary action.

“I have left my appointees in no doubt that I will bring down the hammer swiftly and strongly if they breach any of these provisions,” he warned.

The Code of Conduct outlines specific ethical guidelines, including a ban on the use of public funds to purchase hampers during festive seasons or receiving gifts more than GHC20,000.00.

It is designed to prevent waste, promote integrity, and reinforce public trust in government.
