A Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Democratic Governance (IDEG), Mr Kwesi Jonah, has called for the amendment of Article 286 of the 1992 Constitution which requires public office holders to declare their assets before assuming office.
He described the provision as problematic because it did not allow adequate time for public office holders to compile all their assets prior to the assumption of office.
“For many people, they have the assets, but they have not compiled them and, therefore, need time to do that. It is very difficult to do all that before you assume office,” he said.
