This move comes as he transitions from his previous role as the Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry.
The reassignment was announced in a letter signed by Eugene Arhin, the Director of Communications at the Jubilee House, on 2 April 2024. According to the letter, Dr Stephen Amoah takes over from the late Hon. John Kumah, who passed away on 7th March 2024, in his new role. The appointment is effective immediately.
In addition to this reassignment, President Akufo-Addo has appointed Hon. Kofi Ahenkorah Marfo, Member of Parliament for Achiase, as the Deputy Minister-designate for Trade and Industry. The President is hopeful that Parliament will expedite the approval of his nominee so he can join the government and contribute to the mandate for his second term in office.
Dr Stephen Amoah has been serving as the Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry since 4 April 2023. His move to the finance ministry marks exactly one year since assuming office as the deputy trade and industry minister.
Furthermore, there have been other changes at the finance ministry by President Akufo-Addo. Mrs Abena Osei-Asare is expected to take on the role of Minister of State from Mohammed Amin Adam, who has been appointed as the new Finance Minister.
Dr Alexander Ampaabeng has also been appointed as the Deputy Minister for Finance, following Abena Osei-Asare’s elevation to a minister of state.
Meanwhile, these changes reflect a restructuring within the government aimed at enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in delivering on the President’s mandate for his second term in office.
