President John Dramani Mahama’s administration has submitted a list of 10 regional ministerial nominees to Parliament for approval, marking a significant step in reshaping his government.
The nominees, revealed in a confidential letter intercepted by Apexnewsgh, are expected to play a crucial role in implementing government policies at the local level.
The nominees include:
Northern Region: Ali Adolf John
Oti Region: John Kwadwo Gyapong
Volta Region: James Gunu, known for his grassroots mobilization and experience in local government administration
Eastern Region: Mrs. Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey
North-East Region: Ibrahim Tia
Ashanti Region: Dr. Frank Amoakohene
Upper East Region: Akamugri Donatus Atanga
Ahafo Region: Charity Gardiner
Savannah Region: Salisu Bi-Awuribe
Greater Accra Region: Linda Ocloo
These appointments require parliamentary approval, as stipulated in Ghana’s constitutional provisions. The Speaker of Parliament must approve ministerial appointments before they are sworn into office, following background checks and parliamentary vetting.
The leak of this sensitive document raises questions about internal security measures within the government. Nevertheless, the nominations highlight the new administration’s focus on leadership at the regional level, a critical aspect of governance in a decentralized system.
