President John Evans Atta Mills has ordered the immediate dissolutioin of existing governing boards of all government organisations and parastatals.

The President also directed that all appointments, promotions, re-designations, transfers and re-assignments recently made by such boards should be suspended until new boards had been put in place to review them.

According to the Presidential Spokesman, Mr Mahama Ayariga, President Mills had expressed grave concern over the attitude of some boards of directors who, in the last few weeks, had been rushing through certain critical decisions in anticipation of their dissolution.

"Some of these decisions have even involved  awarding to themselves bonuses and other monetary payments above reasonable levels," he said.

The President, the spokesman pointed out, called for the suspension of the implementation of all such decisions which were to be reviewed by the new boards as soon as they were constituted.

"It is expected that all concerned shall ensure strict compliance. The chief directors of the sectors are to monitor and report on complaince with the above directives," he added.
