Dr Kwame Ampofo is said to have been replaced by Mr Ato Ampiah former boss of Toyota Ghana Limited. The dismissal was confirmed by the deputy Information Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa in an interview with Joy News on Wednesday. According to him, the decision was taken "early this week and everybody has been communicated to". A statement received from the presidency says the dismissal takes immediate effect. However, reasons for his dismissal are not yet available but cannot be far-fetched.
