This disclosure comes as the President Akufo-Addo prepares to name his first batch of nominees this week.
In a report by Accra based Daily Graphic, Eugene Arhin is reported to have said the president will also cut down his ministerial appointments in his second term.
“The ministers and deputy ministers to be appointed will be a blend of new and old members of the president’s last government. They will be national in character and the ministries will reinforce his focus for the second term – accelerate job and wealth creation, strengthen the private sector and see to the rapid development of the country,” Eugene Arhin said.
