"The Ghanaian government has defended itself against accusations of running an “elephant-sized” government, after new appointments announced on Wednesday brought the number of ministers and deputy minsters to 110.
The ministries of Information, Energy, Agriculture and Local Government will each have three deputy ministers, if the appointments from newly-elected President Nana Akufo-Addo are passed.
Opposition politician Haruna Iddrisu criticised the size of the government, telling local media that it would “feed” off the public purse. “We never promised a lean government,” Information Minister Mustapha Hamid told media in response to the criticism. The size of the government was necessary to assist the president’s ambitious development agenda, he added.
Mr Akufo-Addo, from the New Patriotic Party, was elected on his third attempt to reach the post, after a campaign dominated by the country’s faltering economy.

the most ever best ghanaian president i have ever seen. His Excellency NANA AKUFO ADDO.MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY INCLUDING ALL YOUR WORKERS ABONDENTLY this is what we called a sensible leader who thinks about his nation and not his pocket, but not some ***barred word*** peoples called the NDC. i want my fellow Ghanaians to remember about the money the ndc party spent on geinue fowl farming years back.if i were to be the most wise president NANA ADDO i will arrest all ndc members and their so call chop chop ministers including their leader arm robber Mahama what happen with the money they chop in the name of investing in guinea fowl at the northern region?? that ***barred word*** sicklier (asiedu nkatia) insulted Ghanaians badly by telling us the guinea fowl flied to Burkina to feed them selves and never came back when we asked them....my fellow Ghanaians lets all be wise
I dont think this talk came from a sensible person. Whether u like it or not nana addo is president U can go n burn d sea. dobt even think any family memeber of yours has achieved even quarter of what nana addo has done in his life. think about your m.i.s.e.r.a.b.l.e self
Let nana have his peace of mind ....lean or large government is subjective. .what did BBC cos I couldn't see any statement attributed to them .Peacefmonline should b serious. Do you ppl know d number of ppl who were at d flagstaff house during mahama'a time ?? Calling themselves stafers meanwhile doing nothing just chopping money every month. at nana addo has tot it wise to make them ministers so they will b held accountantable.
i guess president magufuli has 1,000 ministers. Any president with wicked mind bent of ***barred word*** the country coffers will employ that much ministers. Weak corrupt and incompetent. it is only a ***barred word*** with the lowest IQ who will justify this senseless act. Shame to the old man
Im seriously dumbfound about some opinions here. Some people are just so biased and stupit. One must kno firstly that nana addo's promises are very huge and will be era-defining moment in our country, should he get it right. This so called change is a really big step, and will require a string commitment and strategy. If for this reason he has to appoint a lot of people, lets just wait for 4 years and we will all know if he has delivered or not. Why are some idi0ts still talking about past and gone mahama? In one stance, i can say there will be a drain on our purse, but in another stance, im thinking its a far better option than the corruption and mismanagement under mahama. Lets just wait, and support nana, afterall, if he does well, its for Ghana and not for himself. Then we just use our thumbs to judge him. Just as we judged the ***barred word***. Simples
What Ghanaians desire is development. Time will tell whether Prez Akufo Addo can deliver or not. Let's wait and see. Fellow Ghanaians be patient and don't give up yet. But please don't make the mistake of bringing the NDC back to power.
Nana Addo is not serious, he just want to chop our money with his party member. He is just trying to give all those who helped him win a position.
Fellow Ghanaians let us start looking for John Mhama. Nana Akuffo Addo cannt save this country . From his initial ministerial appointment most of know that Nnana Addo would an abysmal failure. Let all the Party strategists move fast and direct him otherwise he would plunder this country into a coup d'etat. Let us watch him closely from the way and manner he is managing things. Let those who know him for a long time tell you. Nana Addo has never been any achiever. All what he has been yearning for is to become a President. He has no managerial experience in any thing Do no be deceived by his Law firm fluke
Nana Addo has disappointed Ghanaians. I am sad that I voted for NPP to come to power
NDC people should keep quite and let Nana Addo teach them good governance.
