‘Nobody in my govt will be allowed to buy state assets’ – Mahama

John
Dramani
Mahama,
the
flagbearer
of
the
National
Democratic
Congress
(NDC),
has
clearly
stated
that
his
administration
would
not
tolerate
state
assets
acquisition
by
government
officials.

This
follows
concerns
of
some
government
officials
owning
and
acquiring
state
assets
under
the
current
administration.

Speaking
to
journalists
in
Accra
on
Sunday,
he
indicated
that
“Appointees
and
public
office
holders
must
change
their
attitudes.
That
is
what
we’re
going
to
insist
on
that
people
that
we
appoint
are
modest
people,
they
are
humble,
they
will
open
up
to
the
people,
and
they’ll
do
the
things
that
will
make
the
lives
of
our
young
people
better.
And
so
we’re
gonna
hold
them
to
a
higher
criteria
of
service.
You
must
not
go
and
buy
state
property.”

“Anybody
serving
in
my
government
will
not
be
allowed
to
buy
a
state
asset.
Nobody
serving
in
my
government
will
buy
a
state
asset.
Vehicles
or
cars
or
buildings
or
land
or
anything,
nobody
serving
in
our
government
will
be
allowed
to
buy
a
state
asset.”
