With immediate effect, 24 Municipal and District Chief Executives were sacked by President Nana Akufo Addo today.

 

The President stated that his decision complies with section 20 (3) (b) of the Local Government Act, 2014 (Act 936) and Article 243 (3) b of the Constitution in a letter dated Friday, February 2nd.

 

The President fired his twenty-four district chief executives for no apparent reason.
