The Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development is in the process of attracting skilled personnel into the local government administration in order to strengthen governance at the grassroots level.
The Ministry has realized that the major problem confronting local governance in the country is the non-availability of technocrats, especially, at the district and town council levels.
The Sector Minister, Mr. Baah-Wiredu, stated this in an interview at Agogo in the Asante Akyem North District of Ashanti.
According to him, the Ministry has begun serious discussions with professionals such as engineers, architects, lawyers, planning and budget officers, among others to sensitise them to take up employment with the local government sector.
