These appointments add to the growing list of key positions already announced by the government as part of its efforts to reshape the governance landscape and signal a strategic move to strengthen key sectors including education, agriculture, and infrastructure development.
This intercepted document offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the Mahama administration’s governance strategy.
Among the high-profile appointments, veteran parliamentarian Haruna Iddrisu takes the helm at the Ministry of Education, while Kwame Governs Agbodza has been tapped to lead the crucial Ministry of Roads and Highways.
The appointments reflect a careful balance of experienced politicians and technocrats, with several returning ministers bringing valuable institutional knowledge to their roles.
