Mr. Botchway officially assumed office on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.
One of the principles of the Civil Service is Neutrality and anonymity, which usually demands personnel in the service to remain politically neutral as well as maintain a certain professional level of working ethics devoid of partisan alignments
