BREAKING….President scraps Ministries of Nat’l Security, Information, 5 others

President John Mahama of Ghana has reduced the number of ministries in the country from 30 to 23.

This is part of efforts towards reducing government spending, ROYAL NEWS has gathered.

This change was formalized through an executive order and published in a gazette on January 9, two days after he assumed office.

The ministries of information, sanitation and water resources, national security, railway development, parliamentary affairs, public enterprises, and chieftaincy and religious affairs have been removed.

These were previously established during the tenure of former President Nana Akufo-Addo.

The revised structure retains key ministries such as finance, health, education, defence, and energy.

Additionally, the restructured government now includes ministries focused on green transition, digital technology, youth empowerment, and creative arts, among others.

Mahama, who was president from 2012 to 2017, returned to power after defeating former Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia in the December presidential elections.
