The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has emphatically stated that all his appointees in a future NDC government will be barred from purchasing any state asset.

"If you agree to serve, you must serve and not engage in other side businesses or activities. You must not go and buy state properties. Anybody serving in my government will not be allowed to buy a state asset. No one serving in my government will purchase state assets, be it vehicles, cars, buildings, lands, or anything," Mr. Mahama said during an engagement with the media on Sunday, July 7, 2024, in Accra.

According to the former President, it will not be "business as usual" in his next government, adding that his appointees will not be allowed to live an ostentatious life.

"We will cut out waste, we will eliminate opulence, and we will introduce a code of conduct for public appointees, especially political appointees, regarding how they behave in terms of their modesty and humility. Your appointment to that office is an opportunity to serve, not an opportunity to lord it over the people," Mr. Mahama added.

"And so, our political appointees should change their attitude, and that is what we are going to insist on. We will appoint people who are modest, humble, and open to the people, and they will undertake actions that will improve the lives of our young people. Therefore, we are going to hold them to a higher standard of service than has been the case in the past."
