National Security Coordinator, Joshua Kyeremeh, died this morning following a short illness at the Ga East Municipal Hospital, a leading member of the National Security Secretariat disclosed to Asaaseradio.com.

Kyeremeh was one of President Akufo-Addo’s first appointees in 2017 during his first term. A consummate intelligence professional, he had been holding the position of National Security Coordinator since then.
Kyeremeh was a product of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), and a former Director of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) now known as National Intelligence Bureau (NIB).

He also served as head of the Investigations Unit of the Bureau. He rose to become the Deputy Director BNI and ultimately, the Director BNI from 2005 to 2009.
Kyeremeh was part of the transition team after the 7 December 2020 elections.
