Ghana’s Cabinet has instructed the Attorney-General to draft legislation protecting state assets from improper sale or disposal. The bill, approved by Cabinet, will establish defined procedures for the transfer of state-owned properties, encompassing land, buildings, factories, and industries. President Mahama announced the directive at the Ghana Civil Society Forum 2026, emphasizing the need for clear guidelines. The legislation aims to prevent arbitrary disposal and ensure transparency in managing national resources. This initiative responds to concerns regarding the handling of state assets and seeks to provide a legal framework for their protection. The Attorney-General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, is now tasked with formulating the bill’s specific provisions. The move is expected to enhance accountability and responsible governance of state property.
