President John Mahama’s administration has written to Parliament seeking approval for 10 regional ministers.
The letter to the Speaker of Parliament details and portfolios the President’s nominees for these positions.
They are Greater Accra – Linda Ocloo, Northern – Ali Adolf John, Oti – John Kwadwo Gyapong, Volta – James Gunu, Eastern – Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey, North-East – Ibrahim Tia, Ashanti – Dr. Frank Amoakohene, Upper East – Akamugri Donatus Atanga, Ahafo – Charity Gardiner, Savannah – Salisu Bi-Awuribe
This move is part of his efforts to reorganise his administration following his assumption of office.
The President has already announced a reduction in the number of government ministries, cutting them from 29 to 23, as part of an administrative restructuring initiative aimed at enhancing efficiency and streamlining government operations.
The latest document lists ten nominees designated to lead various regions in Ghana, accompanied by a formal request for parliamentary approval in line with constitutional provisions.
