President Akufo-Addo has asked all Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief executives who were in office before his inauguration to continue to stay in office until further notice.
In a statement signed by the Chief of Staff, the President however instructed the Chief Executives to desist from taking policy decisions.
The development comes in the wake of the legitimacy or otherwise of the President’s decision to appoint acting ministers to serve until substantive ones are appointed.
