The President, at the last Cabinet meeting held on Thursday, December 16, 2004, is reported to have asked all ministers to make their handing-over notes ready by January 6, 2005.
The last Cabinet meeting, coming shortly after the re-election of President Kufuor, was attended by all the ministers of state, comprising both cabinet and non-cabinet members.
According to the paper?s sources, the President thanked the out-going ministers profusely for putting their services at the disposal of mother Ghana. He handed each of them personal ?thank you? letters as a mark of appreciation for their immense contributions to his administration.
