It is largely believed Ministers who attend Cabinet meetings are under an oath of secrecy never to divulge to the public issues discussed during their sitting; but Peacefmonline.com can confirm that several ministers, who attended President John Dramani Mahama’s last cabinet meeting couldn’t hold back their tears.
The outgoing president held his last Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, and when he announced to the gathering that it would be his last time with them as president, a doleful atmosphere took over, leading to some ministers being drowned in their own tears.
Minister for Youth and Sports, Hon. Nii Lante Vanderpuije made this startling disclosure on Radio Gold in an interview Wednesday.
According to the out-going minister who also represents the people of Odododiodio in Parliament, it only took words of encouragement from President Mahama to cheer them up again.
He added that after President Mahama’s speech during the sitting, they all exchanged smiles and hugs to demonstrate their happiness.
“President Mahama and his vice then stood at the corridor after the meeting and each minister went to them to greet them”, he said.
The Cabinet
Established by Articles 76(1), 76(2), and 77(1) of the Constitution, the Cabinet assists the President in the determination of the general policy of government.
The history of the Cabinet dates back to 1957, when Ghana’s founding President Kwame Nkrumah formed the first government. Established by Articles 76(1), 76(2), and 77(1) of the Constitution, the Cabinet assists the President in the determination of the general policy of government.
The Cabinet consists of not less than 10 and not more than 19 Ministers of State. The President, who chairs Cabinet, reserves the right to withdraw a decision of Cabinet prior to its submission to Parliament for approval. In the absence of the President, the Vice-President chairs Cabinet meetings.

Save more tears on the day when the short man throws you all in jail and make you face the wrath of the people. Evil men(I speak for edification not condemnation)! Siaaffo

@The Pure One,you've said it all.There is an economic holocaust coming upon the global,which has just begun.Big economy like USA,EUROPE,CHINA, RUSSIAN are going to be affected.Ghana is not exception so let everyone prepare themselves.But those who have covenant with God through our lord and saviour Jesus Christ will be exempted.Read, ISAIAH 60:2-3, MALACHI 4:1-3, ISAIAH 2:2-3, MICAH 4:1-2 & 2TIMOTHY 3:1-7. PEACE UPON GHANA
