President John Evans Atta Mills has directed ministers he reshuffled recently to assume office at their newly assigned ministries on Wednesday, February 8, 2012.

In a communication to the Speaker read to the House today, the President informed the House about the reshuffling of some

ministers of state.
During the week, parliament discussed the need for the President to inform the house whenever there was a reshuffle even

though the President is not bound to do so.
MPs who contributed to that debate argued that even though the President is constitutionally not required to inform Parliament, for

the sake of good practices, it would be proper for him to do so.

The communication to the House was therefore greeted with applause as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sekondi, Papa Owusu-Ankomah commended the President for acting on a suggestion by the MPs.

The President also informed the House that the out-going Minister of Employment and Social Welfare, Mr E.T. Mensah has been

given an additional responsibility as the acting Minister of Education.

Ministers billed to start work at new ministries are, Alban Bagbin who is moving from the Housing Ministry to the Ministry of Health, Mr Benjamin Kunbuor is leaving the Ministry of the Interior to the Ministry of Justice while E.T Mensah is heading to the housing Ministry.
