Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has announced Parliament's decision to draft legislation that will support lifestyle audits for individuals suspected of acquiring unexplained wealth.
According to the Speaker, the proposed law is part of broader efforts to strengthen the fight against corruption within Ghana's public and private sectors.
This legislation will empower state institutions to investigate the lifestyles of public officials, politically exposed persons, and private individuals whose standard of living appears inconsistent with their declared sources of income.
In a meeting with heads of some corporate institutions on Monday, June 9, 2025, Speaker Alban Bagbin said, “I am currently receiving extensive input to initiate legislation on lifestyle audits. It’s no surprise that this issue is gaining prominence in the speeches of senior officials and civil society organizations. I’m encouraged that the Vice President and the Office of the Special Prosecutor have also begun discussing it,” he said.
“We will legislate it and put an end to individuals flaunting ill-gotten wealth in the faces of ordinary Ghanaians,” Speaker Bagbin added.
