The statement said relevant sector ministers had been directed to take all necessary steps, in accordance with applicable laws and governing instruments, to give effect to the dissolution of the boards.
It added that the affected boards would be reconstituted in due course.
Although the statement did not give any reason for the dissolution, Accra News has gathered the development is as a result of what the presidency terms indiscipline as well as a broader efforts to restructure state institutions and ensure effective governance.
A letter signed by the Secretary to the President, Dr Callistus Mahama, stated that during the interim period when the boards remain dissolved, management of the organisations “shall not take any major policy, financial or contractual decisions requiring board approval without prior authorisation from the appropriate authority.”
