The Ministers will assume additional responsibilities to ensure a smooth and efficient governance approach in their respective sectors until substantive ministers are sworn in.
Among the additional responsibilities, Railway Minister John Peter Amewu will temporarily lead the Sanitation and Water Resources Ministry until Lydia Seyram Alhassan’s vetting process is completed.
Also, Interior Minister Henry Quartey will manage the Greater Accra Region until Nii Kwartei Titus Glover assumes the position of Greater Accra Regional Minister.
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the Minister of Works and Housing, will continue to assume the responsibilities of the Information Ministry until his former deputy, Fatimatu Abubakar, is vetted and approved by Parliament.
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the Digitsation Minister will lead the Health Ministry until Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye is officially sworn in as minister.
