Some former ministers of state will not be part of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s new administration.
This was confirmed by the list of minister-nominees released by the presidency on Thursday, January 21.
After the president was sworn into office for his second term, he decided to reduce the number of his ministers from 126 to 85 in response to long-standing criticism.
Due to this, some ministries in his first term have been realigned while seven other ministries have been completely scrapped.
The January 21 list from the presidency shows the president has nominated 46 persons.
