President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has relieved the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, from his duties in a major ministerial reshuffle announced on Wednesday, February 14.
Road Minister Kwasi Amoako-Atta and Health Minister Kwaku Agyemang Manu are also out of the picture.
In a big shake-up, Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah moves to the Housing Ministry, while his deputy Fatimatu Abubakar takes over as the substantive minister.
The recent reshuffle has impacted about 13 ministers of state, comprising 10 cabinet ministers and two regional ministers.
A press release from the presidency on Wednesday, February 14, catalogued the sacked ministers, those reassigned and newly appointed.
Here are some of the reactions on X(formerly Twitter).
