Yesterday, I officially assumed office as Minister for Works, Housing and Water Resources.

I am grateful to H.E. President John Dramani Mahama for the confidence reposed in me. I take on this assignment with humility, determination and a commitment to deliver.

From housing and water infrastructure to flooding and the completion of critical projects, we have important work ahead.

We will build on what has been achieved, strengthen what needs improvement and deliver with urgency.

Today, I joined H.E. President John Dramani Mahama, H.E. Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, colleagues in government, MMDAs, sanitation workers, security agencies, and citizens across the country for Day One of the National Clean-Up Exercise.

Together, we are taking decisive action to improve environmental sanitation, clear drains, and reduce the risk of flooding. The exercise continues tomorrow, and I encourage every Ghanaian to be part of this national effort.

A cleaner Ghana is everyone’s responsibility.

As part of my ongoing monitoring and accountability tour of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in the Greater Accra Region, I have visited the Assemblies of Ayawaso West Municipal, Ayawaso East Municipal, Ayawaso Central Municipal, Accra Metropolitan, Korle Klottey Municipal, La Dade-Kotopon Municipal, Ga East Municipal, Ga West Municipal and Ga North Municipal.

The tour is aimed at assessing the utilization of the District Assemblies Common Fund and other public resources within the first year of office of the various MMDCEs, ensuring transparency, accountability and improved service delivery to the people.

Our commitment remains clear: strengthening local governance, promoting prudent financial management, and ensuring that public funds translate into tangible development and improved livelihoods for our citizens.

Under the previous administration, only GHS 362 million was released to MMDAs in 2024 under the District Assemblies Common Fund.

In 2025, Government has released an unprecedented GHS 5 billion to MMDAs to strengthen local governance and accelerate development nationwide.

These funds are supporting key projects including CHPS compounds, classroom blocks, boreholes, legacy project completion, and the rollout of 24-hour economy model markets across all 261 districts.

Significant progress is already being recorded nationwide, with projects at various stages of completion as Government remains committed to deepening decentralisation and improving livelihoods at the grassroots.

The commencement of this 24-Hour Economy Market project has been marked with the official breaking of ground.

A major step toward job creation, enterprise growth, and modern market infrastructure, set to be replicated across all 261 districts.

Building inclusive, resilient local economies for a stronger Ghana.

I am privileged to have been elected as President of the Gulf of Guinea Northern Region Social Cohesion (SoCo) Project at the ongoing conference in Côte d’Ivoire. The SoCo Project, supported by the World Bank, plays a vital role in addressing fragility, preventing conflict, and fostering inclusive growth across participating countries. As I assume this significant responsibility, I am confident that our collective commitment to development and people-centered governance will further advance the objectives of the SoCo initiative and deepen regional collaboration for sustainable peace and prosperity.

Yesterday , I received the Johnson Asiedu Nketia’s Committee Report on the Elevation of Districts & Municipalities!

The report provides key recommendations to strengthen decentralisation, improve local governance & empower communities across Ghana. 🇬🇭 #LocalGovernance #Decentralisation #Ghana

The committee recommends 12 municipalities be elevated to metropolitan status & 20 districts upgraded to municipalities. This is a historic step towards equitable development across MMDAs. #DistrictUpgrade #GhanaDevelopment

Hon. Minister Ahmed Ibrahim highlights increased involvement of traditional authorities & mechanisms for MMDAs to raise revenue.

These measures will strengthen local governance & service delivery. #Decentralisation #LocalGovernance

Today, I received Apostle Sam Korankye Ankrah and officials of Carlson Performance International Limited at the Ministry to discuss a sanitation pilot proposal focused on waste collection efficiency & waste-to-energy solutions. #SanitationReform

The proposal outlines a rapid-response waste model, transparent monitoring systems & reduced landfill dependency. Our technical team will review the documentation to ensure alignment with national policy. #CleanGhana

Government remains committed to sustainable, transparent and accountable sanitation solutions. Every proposal will undergo rigorous technical assessment before any further action. 🇬🇭 #LocalGovernment #WasteManagement
