The Deputy Minister of Defense, Ernest Brogya Genfi, has stated that he declared his assets in accordance with the constitution few days after assuming his new position.
He debunked media reports that he has not declared his asset since taking over as Deputy Defense Minister.
In a statement on his Facebook page on April 30, he stated, “For the avoidance of doubt, I filed my assets declaration with the Auditor-General on 28th March 2025 at 4pm and I have the official receipt to that effect.”

His post was in reaction to media reports that several presidential appointees and staffers are facing potential removal from office after failing to comply with President John Mahama’s directive to declare their assets by the extended deadline of March 31, 2025.
The President’s warning, initially issued in February 2025, stipulated that any appointee failing to meet the asset declaration deadline would face serious sanctions, including removal from their positions.
According to documents released, a number of high-profile individuals within the Mahama administration have yet to submit their asset declaration forms.
