A letter was signed this afternoon to that effect by the Minister for Local Government and Rural Development.
Sources say the DCE is being investigated for some comments he made following the murder of Captain Maxwell Mahama.

Adam Mahama was the victim of mob justice by a group of residents in a town in the Upper Denkyira West District of the Central Region.
He was lynched by residents on suspicion of being an armed robber while he was jogging.
The DCE shortly after the incident indicated that Captain Mahama was the head of a military detachment in the area which is protecting a group of Chinese nationals illegally mining gold in the Upper Wassa Forest.
“There is a large number of military personnel protecting the Chinese that the lynched soldier is alleged to be part of it, in fact he is said to be the leader…am shocked they are not briefing you very well but rather claiming they are here to fight galamseyers…,” he said on Accra-based Adom FM.
The comments did not go down well with many Ghanaians who subsequently asked that he should be dismissed.
