All Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) across the country have been told by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to vacate their posts and hand over to their Coordinating Directors.
The directive was contained in a letter which stated: “By virtue of article 243 (3)(b) of the constitution of the republic, H.E the president of the republic has revoked the appointment of all MMDCEs with immediate effect. In this regard all MMDCEs are directed to hand over their relevant duties to MMDCEs for further instruction.”
The letter also noted that new MMDCEs would be announced soon.
The announcement follows recent pressures mounted on the MMDCEs who were appointed by the previous government to leave office following the investiture of Nana Akufo-Addo as president on January 7.
