President Akufo-Addo has nominated 26 new District and Municipal Chief Executives (MDCEs).
The nominations of these new MCEs and DCEs follow the revocation of 24 DCEs on Friday, February 2, in accordance with Article 243 (3) b of the Constitution and section 20 (3) (b) of the Local Government Act, 2014, (Act 936).
The sacked DCEs include Daniel Owuredu of Nkoranza North, Elizabeth Kaaki Mann of Ga East, Patrick Kumor of Weija-Gbawe, Alhaji Abdulai Adams of Pru East and Dorcas Elizabeth Amoah of Nzema East.
It is unclear why they are being sacked.
However, in a letter dated February 3, the President announced the 26 new MDCEs to replace those who had been sacked.
The letter said the appointment is “pending their approval by their respective assemblies.”
They include Prince Dormaa Amoah of Ahafo Ano North, Samson Gbolu of Sene East, Felix Owusu Gyima of Nkwanta South and Jacob K Dumakawe, among others.
