President-elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo would announce his ministerial appointments after being sworn into office on January 7, 2017.
“The names of the President-elect's appointees will be put out officially after he is sworn in, God willing, on January 7, 2017,” the Press Secretary to Akufo-Addo, Eugene Arhin, has disclosed on his Facebook account.
According to him, the said list of would-be ministers and appointees making the rounds on social media was not genuine and must be disregarded.
Mr Arhin described the designations as “just a figment of someone’s imagination.”
There has been several lists on social media and some mainstream media platforms citing certain individuals as having been nominated to serve in the Akufo-Addo administration.
So far, one time New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential aspirant, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen has been publicly announced by Nana Akufo-Addo as his pick for the Trade and Industry Ministry.
Also, JOY BUSINESS is reliably informed the co-founder of Databank Financial Services, Ken Ofori-Atta is expected to be named as Finance Minister in the incoming government.
Sources say one of the major reasons why the President-elect has settled on the financial guru is due to his plan to make the private sector the focus of this government as he works to stabilise the economy.
