Chief Director Takes Temporary Charge of Defence(Centre Spread) January 28, 2009

Story:Michael Donkor
THE Chief Director of the Ministry of Defence, Mr Ofosu Appeah, has been directed to take responsibility of the Ministry until the appointment of a substantive Minister.
A source close to the Transition Team of President Mills said this had become necessary following the death of Vice Admiral E.O. Owusu-Ansah who had earlier been appointed by President John Atta Mills to represent him at the ministry.
Vice Admiral Owusu-Ansah died on January 17, 2009.
Meanwhile some officers and men at the General Headquarters of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) have welcomed the news of the retirement of Lt.Gen. J.B Danquah and the appointment of Rear Admiral A.R.S Nuno as a refreshing one.
They described Rear Admiral Nuno as a professional naval officer dedicated to his duty.
The officers and men, who pleaded anonymity, expressed the hope that Rear Admiral Nuno, having gone through all the military rudiments, would bring his rich experience to bear on the GAF.
They were of the belief that although he was only in an acting position, he would improve upon discipline in the GAF.
