Mahama dissolves all statutory boards, Commissions and Councils

Ghana’s President, John Dramani Mahama, has dissolved all statutory boards, commissions, and councils that were appointed by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

According to a statement from the Presidency, issued by Acting Spokesperson Felix Ofosu Kwakye, the dissolution took effect on January 7, following Mahama’s swearing-in.

However, this action does not impact independent constitutional bodies.

Additionally, the management of state institutions lacking boards is instructed to obtain approval from the Chief of Staff before making significant decisions.
