In a decisive move to streamline government operations and enhance efficiency, President John Dramani Mahama has announced a significant cabinet reorganization, reducing the number of ministries from 30 to 23.
This decision is part of his broader strategy to create a leaner and more effective government structure.
Several ministries have been either scrapped or merged as part of this reorganization. The Ministry of Information has been dissolved, with its functions now integrated into the Ministry of Communication.
The Ministry of Water and Sanitation has also been scrapped, with water-related responsibilities added to the Ministry of Works and Housing, while sanitation duties have been transferred to the Ministry of Local Government.
Both the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of National Security have been dissolved.
To better address youth needs, the Ministry of Sports and Youth has been divided into two distinct entities: the Ministry of Youth Development and Empowerment, and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation.
Furthermore, the Ministry of Chieftaincy has been dissolved, with its responsibilities now transferred to the Ministry of Local Government.
