Outgoing presidents in Ghana could
be forcibly evicted from their official residences if they fail to move
out in time, under new laws.
Presidents and vice-presidents will
have to hand over official homes and vehicles at least two weeks before
the inauguration of a new leader.Ministers and other officials will have one month to do the same.
With general elections due on 7 December, the law aims to reduce delays in transferring government property,
The bill, which was passed by MPs on Wednesday evening, will now go to the president to sign into law.
Existing legislation requires officials to hand back government property after they leave office, but this is the first time there has been a strict time limit applied.
