Appointment Of Regional Ministers Should Be Abolished – Kofi Akpaloo

Percival Kofi Akpaloo, the founder of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) and a contender for president in 2024, has said that if elected he would do away with the position of Regional Minister altogether.

He agrees that it makes sense to choose regional ministers, while mayors and district chief executives handle day-to-day operations.

He reemphasized that the current administration’s many ministers and ministries are unnecessary and redundant.

“When I am voted as President, I will make sure I abolish the appointment of Regional Ministers because it doesn’t make sense because you have District Chief Executives(DCE) and Mayors who are already discharging the duties in the region, this is duplication of roles, “Kofi Akpaloo exclusively told Kumasi-based Pure FM.

He said, “Ghana does not need regional ministers to aid government business because Ghana is a unitary state not federal so the MMDCEs can take care of the regions with the assistance of regional coordinators to channel information to the government through the local government ministry.”

Young people in Ghana, according to Kofi Akpaloo, are desperate for change. The LPG is giving them the fresh start they’ve been looking for. We are dedicated, serious, and will not let any Ghanaian down.
