In place of the twenty-four District Chief Executives (DCEs) who were fired on Friday, February 2, President Akufo-Addo has named 26 new DCEs.
The President stated in a revocation letter dated Friday, February 2, that his decision complies with both Section 20(3)(b) of the Local Government Act, 2014 (Act 936) and Article 243(3)(b) of the Constitution.
Daniel Owuredu of Nkoranza North, Patrick Kumor of Weija-Gbawe, Elizabeth Kaaki Mann of Ga East, Alhaji Abdulai Adams of Pru East, and Dorcas Elizabeth Amoah of Nzema East are among the DCEs who were fired.
It’s unclear why they are being let go. But the President announced in a letter a few hours later the appointment of 26 new DCEs to succeed the dismissed ones.
According to the letter of appointment dated Saturday, February 3, the appointment is “pending their approval by their respective assemblies.”
Among them are Jacob K. Dumakawe, Felix Owusu Gyima of Nkwanta South, Samson Gbolu of Sene East, and Prince Dormaa Amoah of Ahafo Ano North.
