President Mahama Reshuffles His Ministers | Mahama Ayariga Kicked Out Of Sports Ministry

Mahama Ayariga’s antics since the AFCON ended alone has earned him a dismissal, but this is Ghana so the best you can hope is this-reassignment.

A new ministerial reshuffle from the presidency has seen the President moving his ministers about like a chess master moves his pieces. Is this going to make a difference on the standard of living of Ghanaians? I highly doubt so.

A statement, signed by new chief of staff Julius Debrah, announced the reshuffle. Mahama Ayariga moves from the Sports Ministry to the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation; whilst a Minister of State at the presidency, Alhaji Dr Mustapha Ahmed, takes his place at the Sports ministry.

Erstwhile Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Alhaji Collins Dauda, takes Julius Debrah’s old position as Minister of Local Government and Rural Development. Former Health Minister Dr Kwaku Agyeman Mensah becomes Minister for Water Resources, Works, and Housing, with Alex Segbefia nominated to take on the role of Health Minister.

Other new appointees include…

Peter Anarfi Mensah-Ashanti Regional Minister

Kwabena Adankoh- Deputy Minister, Lands and Natural Resources

Samuel Yaw Adusei-Deputy Minister, Water Resources, Works, and Housing

Gilbert Adjei- Deputy Minister, Defence
