Few months after her appointment, President John Dramani Mahama’s appointee, Betty Krosbi Mensah, National Coordinator for Recreation and Wellness, has resigned from her position.
In a resignation letter addressed to the Secretary to the President through the Minister for Sports and Recreation, the former Member of Parliament for Afram Plains North and National Coordinator for Recreation and Wellness under the Sports and Recreation Ministry described her decision as a deeply considered one.
She expressed gratitude to the President and the nation for the opportunity to serve in government.
The two-term MP for Afram Plains North indicated that her resignation was driven by her decision to pursue her political ambition to contest for the position of National Women’s Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The National Democratic Congress, in its internal guidelines, has directed all office holders seeking party executive positions to resign ahead of internal elections. She said her decision to step down was in line with that directive.
She thanked the government for the opportunity to serve and officially exited her role to focus on her political campaign.
