Cabinet has directed the Attorney-General, Dr Dominic Ayine, to draft a new bill aimed at strengthening the protection of state assets.
President John Dramani Mahama, speaking at the Ghana Civil Society Forum 2026, said Cabinet had approved the initiation of the State Assets Protection Bill.
The proposed legislation is expected to safeguard public property and improve accountability in the management of state resources.
“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 announced that Cabinet has approved the National Ethics and Anti-Corruption Plan 2026–2030, a policy framework designed to guide efforts to strengthen the fight against corruption over the next five years.
According to President Mahama, the approval of the anti-corruption plan demonstrates the government’s commitment to deepening transparency and rebuilding public trust.
