President John Dramani Mahama has reappointed six additional individuals to serve as Municipal and District Chief Executives (MDCEs).
This was revealed in a press statement dated Wednesday, May 28, by the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs.
Their appointment is under Article 243(1) of the 1992 Constitution and Section 20(1) of the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936).
The nominees will work across the Ashanti, Upper West, and Upper East Regions.
They include Sarah Amokoaa, who will serve the Asante-Akim North Municipal Assembly, Albert Dakurah will serve Adansi Asokwa District Assembly.
The others are: Adamu Sayibu for the Wa East District Assembly, Mary Haruna, Nadowli Kaleo District Assembly and Arika Martin Akudugu for the Binduri District Assembly.
The appointees are expected to assume office once approved by their respective Assemblies.
On Thursday, May 15, President Mahama appointed four MDCEs to serve in Greater Accra.
Ignatius Godfred Dordoe for Shai Osudoku District Assembly, Rudolph Collingwoode-Williams for Ayawaso Central Municipal Assembly, Michael Mensah for Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly, and Alfredos Nii Anyetei for La Dadekotopon Municipal Assembly.
Ignatius Godfred Dordoe and Alfredos Nii Anyetei got approval from the Assembly; however, Mr Rudolph Collingwoode-Williams and Michael Mensah were rejected.
In January this year, President Mahama revoked the appointments of MDCEs and Chief Executives for Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs).
A letter from the presidency directed the respective Coordinating Directors of the various MMDAs to act as Chief Executives in the interim.
