President Akufo-Addo and his former ministers
The special ministries created to allegedly reward party boys and girls when President Akufo-Addo assumed office on January 7, 2017, are going to be scrapped to make it possible for a leaner government.
They include Aviation, Office of the Senior Minister, Planning, Zongo, Special Initiatives, Regional Reorganisation and Development, Public Procurement Ministry, Monitoring and Evaluation which left in its wake 125 ministers serving in the Akufo-Addo government aside special assistants, consultants among others.
It is unclear when the first list of ministerial appointments will be released by the Presidency to end the lobbying, anxieties within the ruling NPP, and speculations in the country, especially amongst the business community.
