Joyce Bawah Mogtari, an aide to Former President John Dramani Mahama has stated that President Akufo-Addo had no other option than to reduce his elephant sized government and superflous ministries after Ghanaians sent him a strong message during last year’s elections about how he formed his government.
President Akufo-Addo in a statement signed on his behalf by the Acting Director of Communications at the Presidency Mr Eugene Arhin noted that seven Ministries, namely Aviation, Business Development, Inner City and Zongo Development, Monitoring and Evaluation, Planning, Regional Re-organisation and Development, and Special Development Initiatives, have been realigned.
It further noted that the President’s ministers in his second term won’t exceed eighty-five (85).
Reacting to this in a tweet, Joyca Bawa said “President Nana Akufo-Addo had absolutely no options but to downsize the humongous number of ministers and scrap the superfluous ministries created in 2017.”
She added, “It just had to be done, after #Ghanaians sent him a strong message, reflected in the disputed presidential and parliamentary election results.”
