President John Mahama has issued a directive dissolving all boards of statutory corporations, commissions, and councils appointed by the previous Akufo-Addo administration.
The notice, issued in accordance with the Presidential (Transition) Act, 2012 (Act 845), takes immediate effect and marks the latest in a series of orders aimed at restructuring state institutions.
The directive, signed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Acting Spokesperson to the President, serves as formal notice to all affected members of statutory boards, corporations, commissions, and councils that their tenure ended with the assumption of office by the new president.
“In accordance with the Presidential (Transition) Act, 2012 (Act 845), all members of statutory boards, corporations, commissions, and councils appointed by the former President or a former Minister of State ceased to hold office on 7th January 2025, following the assumption of office of His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama,” the statement read.
The notice, however, clarified that independent constitutional bodies are exempt from this directive. The affected boards and commissions will be reconstituted in due course, following their respective enabling laws.
