President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his intention to apply severe penalties to appointees who violate the public official code of conduct.
The Code of Conduct which was made public on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, is part of government’s larger goal to encourage professionalism, civility, and ethical governance in public service.
President Mahama made it clear in his speech to the nation on Wednesday, May 7, that his appointees will face severe disciplinary punishment for any violations.
“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.
Specific ethical rules are outlined in the Code of Conduct, which forbids using public funds to buy hampers during holiday seasons or accept presents worth more than GHC20,000.00.
Its goals are to stop waste, encourage honesty, and strengthen public confidence in the government.
