Deputy Defence Minister Ernest Brogya Genfi has clarified that he fulfilled his constitutional obligation to declare his assets shortly after assuming office.
Responding to recent media reports suggesting he failed to comply with the asset declaration deadline, Mr. Genfi took to Facebook on April 30 to set the record straight.
He confirmed that he filed his declaration with the Auditor-General’s office on March 28, 2025, at 4 p.m.
“For the avoidance of doubt, I filed my assets declaration with the Auditor-General on 28th March 2025 at 4 pm and I have the official receipt to that effect,” he posted.
His statement comes amid growing pressure on presidential appointees to comply with President John Mahama’s directive to declare their assets.
The President had set an extended deadline of March 31, 2025, warning that those who failed to meet it would face strict sanctions, including the possibility of dismissal from office.
Reports suggest that several high-ranking officials have yet to fulfil this requirement.
While Mr. Genfi has confirmed his compliance, questions remain about other members of the administration who may still be at risk of removal.
