Ghana’s new president, John Mahama, has unveiled his key cabinet appointments, naming Cassiel Ato Forson as Finance Minister, John Abdulai Jinapor as Energy Minister, and Dominic Akuritinga Ayine as Attorney General and Justice Minister.
Mahama, who was sworn into office this week, had vowed during his campaign to nominate all cabinet ministers within his first 14 days in office and maintain a lean cabinet.
Mahama, who previously served as president from 2012 to 2017, has pledged to prioritise economic recovery, stability, and growth, as well as improve the business and investment climate and combat corruption.
Mahama’s National Democratic Congress party holds a two-thirds majority in Parliament, which will facilitate the approval of his ministerial nominees.
