The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Johnson Asiedu Nketia has lashed out at President Akufo-Addo over the size of his government.
According to him, the new government has “let down the masses” because during the electioneering the then opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) promised to “cut down the size of the government” when it comes to power.
Speaking on the issue, Mr. Nketia told host of Morning Starr Francis Abban that it will mean the expenditure of the government on emoluments will increase. “If you are on the Progressive part of government, you are likely to end up with a bigger government.
“Increasing the size of government will mean spending of too much money to run the country… NPP mentioned that they will cut down on government. Unfortunately, they are increasing the numbers,” General Mosquito, as he is affectionately called, asserted.
Mr. Nketia added: “They have let down the masses that they will cut down the size of government. They have ended up with a bigger government… they should come out to explain to us.”
President Akufo-Addo will be announcing a 50-member deputy ministerial list soon, which will make his government the biggest so far under the Fourth Republic. So far, 46 ministers have been vetted and sworn into office.
The previous NPP government led by former President John Kufuor had 88 ministers while the Mills administration that succeeded it had 69 ministerial appointees. The Mahama administration, however, had 78 ministerial appointments.

Where and when did Nana Addo the President promised Asiedu Nketiah he was going to have lean government? These people need to see Dr Osei for evaluation because they are not making sense at all. The defeat had gone done their bones so much so that they are now crazy and talking anyhow and this won't help them. Ndc are fo*ls but I don't blame them because they have no vision, no ideology,no plan just looking for power to better their lives so they are just confused with this defeat all they thinking about is how and when they are coming back since the only charismatic person among them is JDM who has been beat g to pulp so has hang his gloves so who else? The founder who used his charisma to win the 2008 election for them has been booted out from the party with Asiedu Nketiah putting him in a cage so who is coming? All ndc have went round the whole nation about 10 times but still Ghanaians didn't give a dime and voted massively to humiliate them so who do you have for 2020? Asiedu Nketiah can't present nobody to the nation as a presidential candidate for this nation to buy, if so they would have voted for Mahama since he was the chairman of the campaign team. Aah President Mahama paaa if you chosen somebody for a campaign team aa Asiedu Nketiah where is the charisma for Ghanaians to listen to him and all those who trotted around d for votes for JDM had no charisma and talked nons*nse. Ndc is dead you don't have the human resource and Ghanaians are comfortable you are out. The airwaves have some sanity with ndc in opposition.
The Mahama presidency had about 700 aids and workers at the flagstaff house don't compare your incompetent ***barred word*** government to this at all. If you had done a good job Nana wouldn't bother to ask for more hands for the mess caused. He needs more hands for the ndc massive mess and damage caused this nation, they must ***barred word*** for Ghanaians are looking for good and excellent government not the type of ndc gpvetnment. I thought ndc were going to mention they were incompetent but they couldn't protest even one of the appointees of not befitting the job she/he has been assigned but just talking from their kpokpogbligbli attack due to their massive and humiliated defeat which has rendered them depressed and doing things the wrong way to keep them in opposition forever.
John Mahama NDC lean govt was very corrupt with their many unaccounted SPECIAL ASSISTANTS. Nana Addo did not promise lean govt. WE want to see performance. aSIEDU nKETIA MUST REMAIN QUITE AND ENJOY HIS OPPOSITION. NDC thifs.

THINK OUT OF THE BOX AND STRATEGIES HOW YOU SPEAK ON THOSE MEDIA NET WORK.I AM SHOCK JOURNALIST ARE STILL SUPPORTING THIS 112 APPOINTED MINISTERS. MAY BE GOD WANT TO VINDICATE FORMAL PRESIDENT MAHAMAH.SERIOUSLY I CANT THINK FAR. WE DONT HAVE EVEN ONE PASSENGER AIR AIRLINE, YET WE HAVE TWO MINISTERS FOR AVIATION.FOES LET US NOT GO THE NIGERIAN WAY. OUR PRESIDENT IS NOT IN-CHARGE. SOMETHING IS WRONG.
