President John Dramani Mahama has directed the immediate dissolution of all boards of statutory corporations, commissions and councils appointed by the previous administration of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The directive, issued under the Presidential (Transition) Act, 2012 (Act 845), signals ongoing efforts to restructure state institutions under the new administration.
A statement signed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Acting Spokesperson to the President, confirmed that the tenure of all affected board members officially ended on January 7, 2025, with the swearing-in of President Mahama.
“In accordance with the Presidential (Transition) Act, 2012 (Act 845), all members of statutory boards, corporations, commissions, and councils appointed by the former President or a former Minister of State ceased to hold office on 7th January 2025,” the statement read.
The directive excludes independent constitutional bodies, which remain unaffected. The affected boards and commissions will be reconstituted in line with their enabling laws in the coming weeks.
