President John Mahama's administration has written to Parliament seeking approval for 10 regional ministers.
The letter to the Speaker of Parliament details and portfolios the President's nominees for these positions.
This move is part of his efforts to reorganise his administration following his assumption of office.
The President has already announced a reduction in the number of government ministries, cutting them from 29 to 23, as part of an administrative restructuring initiative aimed at enhancing efficiency and streamlining government operations.
The latest document lists ten nominees designated to lead various regions in Ghana, accompanied by a formal request for parliamentary approval in line with constitutional provisions.
Find the nominees below:
Greater Accra - Linda Ocloo
Northern - Ali Adolf John
Oti - John Kwadwo Gyapong
Volta - James Gunu
Eastern - Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey
North-East - Ibrahim Tia
Ashanti - Dr. Frank Amoakohene
Upper East - Akamugri Donatus Atanga
Ahafo - Charity Gardiner
Savannah - Salisu Bi-Awuribe
It is unclear what is holding the selection of the Minister-nominees for the 6 remaining regions.
However, in Bawku today, the President revealed that appointments for key ministerial and security positions are underway to ensure the necessary leadership is in place to handle the conflict.
“Within this week, we will do the appointment of Minister of Defence, the Minister of Interior, the National Security Adviser, the National Security Coordinator, the BNI Director and all the others.
“When these appointments are made, I am going to charge them to make Bawku one of their number one priorities,” President Mahama assured.
The President also appealed to residents to remain patient and exercise restraint as his administration works towards a lasting solution.
