Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has finally been relieved of his duties. Also out of the picture are Road Minister Kwame Amoako-Atta, Health Minister Kwaku Agyemang Manu and Interior Minister Ambrose Dery.
In a big shake-up, Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah moves to the Housing Ministry, while his deputy Fatimatu Abubakar takes over as the substantive Minister.
The recent reshuffle has impacted around 13 ministers of state, comprising 10 cabinet ministers and two regional ministers.
A press release from the presidency on Wednesday, February 14, catalogued the sacked ministers, those reassigned and newly appointed.
There has been intense pressure on President Akufo-Addo to sack Mr Ken Ofori-Atta with some Majority MPs also joining in the chorus.
In October 2022, the President defended his cousin saying he was there was no basis for such an action.
According to him, Ken Ofori-Atta has discharged his duties “excellently” and he cannot relieve such a person of his position.
