Accra, Ghana – President John Dramani Mahama, in his maiden State of the Nation Address, announced decisive measures to protect public resources and strengthen the country’s justice system.
He revealed that his administration would soon pass a law prohibiting the sale or disposal of state lands to government officials.
This move aims to curb corruption and prevent public lands from being privatized for personal gain. The sale of state lands to politicians and high-ranking officials has been a contentious issue, raising concerns about transparency and fairness in government asset management.
Additionally, President Mahama emphasized the need to restore confidence in the judicial system, stating that his government would work closely with the judiciary to depoliticize justice delivery. He acknowledged growing concerns over political interference in legal proceedings and pledged to support reforms that would ensure fairness, impartiality, and accountability in the justice sector.
These commitments reflect the President’s broader agenda to promote good governance and public trust in state institutions. As Ghanaians await the implementation of these reforms, stakeholders will be looking for concrete steps to ensure that state resources are safeguarded and the judiciary remains independent and credible.
