President Akufo-Addo has assigned additional responsibilities to several Ministers tasked to fill vacancies in various Ministries without substantive ministers.
This decision follows the president's recent reshuffle on Wednesday, February 14, which involved the removal and reassignment of ministers within his government.
Among the notable assignments, Railway Minister John Peter Amewu will oversee the Sanitation and Water Resources Ministry until Lydia Seyram Alhassan completes her vetting process.
Similarly, Interior Minister Henry Quartey will manage the Greater Accra Region until Nii Kwartei Titus Glover assumes the position of Greater Accra Regional Minister.
Mr. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, currently the Minister of Works and Housing, will continue to handle the responsibilities of the Information Ministry until his former deputy, Fatimatu Abubakar, is vetted and approved by Parliament.
Additionally, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, Minister of Communications, will take charge of the Health Ministry until Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye assumes the role officially.
Again, Mr. Osei Bonsu Amoah will oversee the Local Government and Rural Development Ministry pending the approval of the substantive minister, Martin Adjei Mensah Korsah. The Volta Regional Minister, Archibald Letsa, will manage the Oti region on a temporary basis.
Hawa Koomson, the Fisheries Minister, will handle the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection until Darkoa Newman assumes the role. Samuel Abu Jinapor, Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, will oversee the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation temporarily until Ophelia Quansah Hayford takes over.
This decision is in line with the government's aim to enhance administrative efficiency and performance across ministries.
