John Boadu appointed new Director-General for SIGA

General Secretary of NPP John Boadu

President Akufo-Addo has appointed John Boadu as the Director-General for the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA).

The announcement was conveyed through a letter from the Office of the President on Monday, December 11, and endorsed by the President’s Executive Secretary, Nana Asante Bediatuo.

The letter clarified that President Akufo-Addo derives his authority to appoint Mr. Boadu from the SIGA Act 2019 (Act 900).

“Pursuant to Section 17 (2) of the State Interests and Governance Authority Act, 2019 (Act 990), I am pleased to inform you that the President has appointed you to act as the Director-General of State Interests and Governance Authority (the ‘Authority’ ) pending receipt of the constitutionally required advice of the governing Board of the Authority, given in consultation with the Public Services Commission.”

Meanwhile, the appointee is obligated to convey his acceptance to the President within 14 days.

“Kindly indicate your acceptance or otherwise of this appointment within 14 days of receipt of this letter,” the letter added.

The role was formerly held by Stephen Asamoah Boateng, who stepped down as he sought the position of the National Chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

However, his bid was unsuccessful, and he was later appointed by the President as the Minister for Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs after the resignation of the then-minister, Kojo Kum, on health grounds.
