President Nana Akufo-Addo has charged his appointed regional ministers to shoulder all the burden that comes with their job because he will not appoint deputy regional ministers.
He stated this during the swearing-in ceremony of the 16 vetted regional ministers, who will be representing him in their respective posts.
“As Chairpersons of the Regional Coordinating Councils of your respective regions, you have the most regular and direct impact on the lives of the people”, the President told the new ministers, adding: “You set the tone for the administration and development in your regions”.
“Another important role you play is that of the chair of the Regional Security Council. You do not need me to tell you that your most important function is to help ensure peace, law, and order in your regions”, the President told the minsters.
He continued: “As you all already know”, he said: “I have taken the decision not to appoint deputy regional ministers. This means you have to shoulder the work by yourselves, as I know you can”.
