The Administrator General, Mr David Yaro has told the Daily Graphic that all handover notes from 24 ministries, 10 coordinating councils, and six other statutory bodies, namely the Local Government Service Secretariat, the Office of the Head of Civil Service, the Inter-ministerial Committee on Decentralisation, the Department of Parks and Gardens and the Ghana Free Zones Board had all been submitted.

Mr Yaro also used the opportunity to debunk claims that he had delayed the submission of the handover notes, or that he had returned them to the ministries for them to be doctored before completion.

Meanwhile, the PRAAD has said that the public can have access to the handover notes “as soon as practicable.”
