The President Nana Akufo Addo on Friday accepted the resignation of Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs Minister, Ebenezer Kojo Kum from Office.

The Member of Parliament for Ahanta West is the third minister to resign from the Akufo-Addo government after Trades and Industry Minister Alan Kyeremanten and Agric Minister Dr. Afriyie Akoto.

The President has subsequently tasked the Local Government and Rural Development, Dan Botwe, to act as caretaker Minister until a substantive appointment is made.
