Ivory Coast Prime Minister Patrick Achi tabled his resignation and that of his government on Wednesday 13 April 2022 as President Alassane Ouattara plans to slim down the size of the cabinet, Ouattara said.
Ouattara said he would reduce the government to around 30 ministers from the current 41, with new appointments to be made next week to govern the world’s top cocoa producer.
The president is expected to address a joint session of the West African country’s parliament on April 19, a government spokesman told Reuters.
A slimmer cabinet will be more efficient and in tune with the global economic climate, Ouattara said during the cabinet meeting at which he accepted the government’s resignation.
Achi, 66, was appointed prime minister in March last year.
