Former Works, Housing and Water Resources Minister Kenneth Gilbert Adjei has officially transferred the responsibility of leading the Ministry to his new colleague, Ahmed Ibrahim, after being reassigned as Minister for Defence by President John Dramani Mahama. The handover took place at the Ministry in Accra, where both ministers signed the official documents to confirm the transition.
Adjei, who served in the role from February 2025 to August 2026, encouraged Mr. Ibrahim to build upon his accomplishments and introduce new ideas to accelerate progress in the sector and across the country. He highlighted his tenure's focus on tackling Ghana's housing deficit, improving water supply, addressing flooding, and reviving stalled projects like the Saglemi Housing Project.
At a farewell ceremony, Adjei expressed immense gratitude to the Ministry's management and staff for their professionalism and dedication, crediting their collective effort for the achievements made during his time in office. Adjei now joins the Ministry of Defence, succeeding the late Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, who held the position from 2015 to 2017.
Ahmed Ibrahim, on the other hand, moves from the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs to the Works, Housing and Water Resources Ministry following President Mahama's cabinet reshuffle on August 7, 2026.
