Ghana’s President John Mahama has axed Minister of Water Resources Works and Housing, Alhaji Collins Dauda from Cabinet.
This came to light when an amended list of Cabinet ministers was presented to Parliament today replacing him with the Power Minister Dr Kwabena Donkor.
According to a release from the office of the executive secretary to the President, and signed by the Cabinet Secretary, Roger Asuwine excluded that of the Works and Housing Minister.
The new list brings to closure the controversy over the violation of the constitution by the presidency when it first presented a bloated number of Cabinet Ministers.
The previous list presented to Parliament had 20 Cabinet Ministers which included the Power and Water Resources Works and Housing Ministries, a situation which provoked controversy on the floor of the House.
Below is the new Cabinet list presented to Parliament:
