Cabinet has tasked Attorney-General, Dr Dominic Ayine, to prepare new legislation focused on boosting the protection of state property.
President John Dramani Mahama, speaking at the Ghana Civil Society Forum 2026, said Cabinet had endorsed work on the State Assets Protection Bill.
The draft law is set to secure public property and tighten oversight of how state resources are managed.“I’m also happy to announce to you that yesterday, Cabinet took a decision directing the Attorney General to draft a bill for the protection of state assets.
It’s called the State Assets Protection Bill. It shows the guidelines under which any state asset can be disposed of, including lands, buildings, state assets, factories, industries, so that no government just capriciously disposes of state assets,” he said.
He also revealed that Cabinet had cleared the National Ethics and Anti-Corruption Plan 2026–2030, a policy blueprint to drive anti-graft efforts over the next five years.President Mahama said approving the anti-corruption plan shows the administration’s resolve to boost transparency and restore public confidence.
