President John Dramani Mahama has made interim ministerial appointments in response to the tragic loss of two cabinet ministers in Wednesday’s military helicopter crash in the Ashanti Region.
In a statement issued by Presidential Spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the President directed the Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, to assume additional responsibility as Minister for Defence with immediate effect.
Similarly, the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Hon. Emmanuel Kofi Armah Buah, has been appointed to act as Minister for Environment, Science and Technology until further notice.
The additional responsibilities come in the wake of the sudden passing of Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, who were among the eight people killed in the military helicopter crash on Wednesday, August 6, in the Adansi Akrofuom District.
