The announcement follows recent ministerial changes and the dissolution of several state institution boards, with the latest dissolutions occurring on September 2, 2026. A statement from the Presidency, signed by the Secretary to the President, Dr. Callistus Mahama, emphasized that these changes are intended to ensure government appointees align with the administration’s policies and priorities. The Presidency stressed the importance of discipline, accountability, and effective leadership for all appointees, urging them to act with integrity, diligence, and humility.

The administration will continue to assess the performance of appointees to improve its effectiveness and responsiveness, with the President prepared to take further action as needed. Appointees are encouraged to cooperate with the reorganization and focus on delivering the government’s mandate.
