Cabinet Clears 2026–2030 Anti-Corruption Plan for Parliamentary Approval – Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has announced that Cabinet has approved the National Ethics and Anti-Corruption Action Plan (2026–2030) for onward submission to Parliament, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and good governance.

Speaking at the 4th Ghana Civil Society Forum (GCSF) 2026 in Accra, President Mahama described the approval as a significant milestone in Ghana’s efforts to strengthen integrity in public service and intensify the fight against corruption.

“Accountability and the fight against corruption are essential to democratic consolidation, and I wish to use this platform to restate my commitment to transparent and accountable governance,” the President said.

He noted that the new action plan builds on the foundation of the 10-year National Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NACAP) launched during his previous administration in 2015.

“I’m pleased to report to you that just yesterday, Cabinet approved the new National Ethics and Anti-Corruption Action Plan 2026 to 2030 for onward transmission to Parliament,” he announced.

President Mahama said the plan forms part of broader reforms aimed at promoting ethical leadership, strengthening public sector accountability, and improving transparency in the management of public resources.

The President also revealed that Cabinet had directed the Attorney General to draft a State Assets Protection Bill, which will establish clear legal guidelines for the disposal of state assets, including lands, buildings, factories, industries, and other public properties.

According to him, the proposed legislation is intended to prevent the arbitrary disposal of public assets by any government and ensure they are managed in the national interest.

President Mahama made the announcements while addressing participants at the 2026 Ghana Civil Society Forum, which brought together government officials, civil society organisations, development partners, and governance experts to discuss partnerships for democratic consolidation and inclusive national development.
