President Akufo-Addo sacks 24 DCEs with immediate effect



In a recent development, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has taken the decision to relieve 24 District Chief Executives of their duties with immediate effect.


According to a letter dated Friday, February 2, the President cited Article 243 (3) b of the Constitution and section 20 (3) (b) of the Local Government Act, 2014, (Act 936) as the basis for his decision.


Among those affected by this decision are Patrick Kumor of Weija-Gbawe and Daniel Owuredu of Nkoranza North.


At this time, the specific reasons for their dismissal remain unclear.


This move underscores the President's commitment to upholding the principles of good governance and accountability within the local government structure.


As the affected districts navigate this transition, it is expected that new appointments will be made in due course to ensure the continued effective administration of these areas.
