Akufo-Addo makes first MMDCE appointment

President Nana Akufo-Addo has named his first Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executive (MMDCE) after starting his second term.

During his two-day tour of the Western North Region, the President confirmed Yawson Amoah as the new District Chief Executive (DCE) of the Akontombra district.

This was while addressing a gathering at Sefwi Akontombra when he paid a courtesy call on the chiefs and elders.

The President acknowledged the criticisms his administration has received for the late appointment of the MMDCEs.
