Madam Eva Mends became the first Ghanaian female to be made Director of Budget when she was appointed to the post.
She had served in this capacity since May 2017, before her unexplained removal this week.
Sources close to the Ministry say though she worked her way through the ranks, “there were other more qualified people who know the job than her”.
The source added that although she has been removed as Director of Finance, Ms. Mends is still a staff of the Finance Ministry.
Ms. Mends joined the Ministry as a National Service person in 1991 and held several positions including Head of The Americas Desk in 1998, Head of Budget Development in 2006 and Group Head of Public Financial Management (PFM) reforms in 2013.
Ms. Mends is one of the wives of the late MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon, Emmanuel Kyeremateng Agyarko.

However, his condition rather worsened leading to his death in the UK. He died at the age of 61.
