Don’t undertake any capital expenditure activity – Mahama orders MMDCDs

President John Dramani Mahama has ordered all Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Coordinating Directors (MMDCDs), cautioning them against undertaking any capital expenditure-related activities.

This directive comes in the wake of the revocation of appointments for all Chief Executives of Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) and Assembly members, effective January 8, 2025.

In a statement, issued on Wednesday, the Chief Director of the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development, Amin Abdul-Rahman, said, “All MMDCDs are directed to take administrative responsibility of their respective MMDAs with immediate effect.

“All MMDCDs are however to take note, that they are not to undertake any capital expenditure-related activity during this period. On behalf of H.E. the President, we wish to thank all outgoing Hon. MMDCEs and Hon. Appointed Assembly Members for their service to the Republic of Ghana.”

The statement directed all Metropolitan, Municipal and District Coordinating Directors (MMDCDs) to take administrative responsibility for their respective MMDAs with immediate effect.

“All Hon. MMDCEs are directed to hand over their duties, Government properties in their possession and all relevant documents to Metropolitan, Municipal and District Coordinating Directors (MMDCDs) who would hold the fort for the daily administration of the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) until substantive Hon. MMDCEs are appointed by H.E. the President. Also, all appointed Hon. Assembly Members who have in their possession any public assets should immediately hand them over to their respective MMDCDs.”
