Though President Akufo-Addo, the sole appointing authority is yet to officially release the list of his Deputy ministerial appointees, some names are already doing the rounds within governmental circles.
These names, The Chronicle gathered from unofficial sources, will soon be submitted to parliament as the first batch of the over 40 Deputy ministerial nominees.
Some of the persons who have reportedly been named in the first batch are not new in governmental affairs, as most, if not all, played key roles in the first four years of this administration.
For instance, Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, who was a Deputy Minister for Energy in the previous term, our sources say, is likely to be maintained. Dr Mohammed Amin Adam won the Karaga constituency seat in the 2020 parliamentary elections.
