President John Mahama has appointed private legal practitioner and law lecturer Nana Kwasi Boatey as the acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ghana Publishing Company Limited.

Boatey’s appointment follows the termination of the appointment of former CEO David Asante, who served for eight years. Nana Kwasi Boatey is expected to bring his vast experience in law, media, and other managerial positions to bear on his new role.

Nana Kwasi Boatey was called to the Ghana Bar in 2011.

He attended the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, where he obtained his LLB (Law) from 2005 to 2008.

He completed Kumasi Technical University in 2001, earning a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Dispensing Technology. He is a former student of Prempeh College, Kumasi.

He is also the CEO of Orbitplus Pharmacy Ltd.

Boatey lectures on civil procedure at the Ghana School of Law in Kumasi. He also serves as the Head of Chambers at the law firm Dadson and Associates Ltd.

Nana Kwasi Boatey once served as Parliamentary Liaison and assistant to the then Minister for Trade and Industry, Hannah Tetteh, between May 2009 and November 2011.

He has also served as the Board Secretary of the Ghana Standards Authority and has worked in the media as a host of radio programs, including Decision 2020 on Kumasi-based Luv FM and Action Point on Kapital Radio.

Ghana Publishing Company (formerly called Ghana Publishing Corporation) was incorporated on March 9, 1965, under Legislative Instrument No. 413 and subsequently amended by L.I. 672 on December 11, 1970, to take over the functions of the former Government Printing Department and the administration of the Government Free Textbook Schemes.

The Assembly Press was converted into a Limited Liability Company under the Statutory Corporations (Conversion to Companies) Act 461, 1993, and re-named Ghana Publishing Company Limited in 2007.

According to information on the company’s website, it exists “primarily to print and publish very high-quality books and stationery for educational institutions, government departments, and the general public at competitive prices.”

“We aim at nothing but the best in all our services. As a printing and publishing company, our values drive us to offer world-class services to our clients and the general public.”

The founder and leader of the International God’s Way Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim, has questioned President John Dramani Mahama for appointing the Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon, John Dumelo, as the Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture.

According to Bishop Obinim, it is not yet time for John Dumelo to merit such a ministerial position.

“Opportunity comes but once. Let me use John Dumelo as an example. Since when did he become an MP for him to receive a ministerial appointment?” he questioned.

He asserted that Mahama’s decision to appoint Dumelo and others is a way of rewarding everyone who contributed to his victory in the 2024 general elections.

Speaking to his church members in a video shared on YouTube, Bishop Obinim stated, “Mahama has made up his mind that during his four-year tenure in office, he wants everyone who helped him win the election to enjoy the benefits with him.

“John hasn’t reached the level of becoming a minister. John, who is an actor. He has come to my house at Ashaley Botwe about five times.

“He even came to my house to act in a movie with Christabel and David Osei. Now, he is an Honourable Member. Indeed, time changes. My brother John, I salute you.”
