Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo on Wednesday announced a major cabinet reshuffle 10 months before the West African country’s general elections in December.
According to a statement from the Office of the President, Mr Akufo-Addo relieved 13 ministers including embattled finance minister Ken Offori-Atta and 10 deputy ministers of their duties.
“The President personally expressed his sincere appreciation directly to each of the Ministers and Deputy Ministers, who have exited Government, for their commitment, competence, dedication and hard work in office, which helped in the realisation of Government’s mandate to the Ghanaian people over the last seven years, and wished each of them well in their future endeavours,” the statement said.
