Despite reassignment of Mr. Bryan Acheampong, the Minister of State at the National Security, to the Interior Ministry, the Abetifi Constituency Member of Parliament is yet to be assigned to a specific role in the Interior Ministry.
According to Mr. Eugene Arhin, Director of Communications at the Presidency, Mr. Bryan Acheampong will be reporting to Interior Minister, Mr. Ambrose Dery, after the assignment.
The Minister of Interior is Ambrose Dery since January 2017, but his deputy, Mr. Henry Quartey, had been reassigned to the Interior as Deputy Minister.
The Ministry of the Interior is a ministry of the government of Ghana mandated to ensure internal security, as well as the maintenance of law and order in the country.
The successes achieved in the socio-economic sphere of the nation and the realization of Government’s plans and programs under the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS) as well as the various Presidential Special Initiatives (PSIs) were largely achieved because the country had experienced a relatively safe and secure environment.
The Ministry of Interior is the government’s chief agency in charge of maintenance and enforcement of Internal Law and Order has agencies under it that have specific functions aimed at achieving the overall purpose of the Ministry and the country as a whole.
Mr. Eugene Arhin told Joy Fm in Accra that Mr. Bryan Acheampong is just going there [Interior] to be assigned a specific role by the President or the substantive Minister [Ambrose Dery] himself “so I don’t believe it is going to create any problems for us,… no problems were created whilst he was there at National Security, we don’t believe he is going to create any problem at the Ministry of Interior with this new role he has been assigned by the President.”
