President Akufo-Addo has revoked the appointment of 24 District Chief Executives with immediate effect.
The President said the directive is by Article 243(3) (B) of the constitution and Section 20 (3) (b) of the Local Government Act, 2014.
President Akufo-Addo said “I write to inform you that I have revoked the appointment of the following as District Chief Executives.
“I respectfully request that you give immediate effect to my directive. I will, under a separate cover, write to you to nominate their replacement.
The DCEs who have been sacked include Daniel Owuredu of Nkoranza North, Elizabeth Kaaki Mann of Ga East, Patrick Kumor of Weija-Gbawe, Alhaji Abdulai Adams of Pru East, and Dorcas Elizabeth Amoah of Nzema East. It is unclear why they are being sacked.
However, in a letter hours later, the President announced the announcement of 24 new DCEs to replace those who had been sacked.
The appointment letter signed on Saturday, February 3, said, the appointment is “pending their approval by their respective assemblies.”
They include Prince Dormaa Amoah of Ahafo Ano North, Samson Gbolu of Sene East, Felix Owusu Gyima of Nkwanta South, and Jacob K Dumakawe among others.
