Ghana’s President, Nana Akufo-Addo, has described the appointment of 110 Ministers which announced recently as a necessary investment that needed to be made.
Speaking on national television yesterday, Friday, Akufo-Addo said: “It is a necessary investment to make.
“I’m aware that people are concerned about what they see as maybe the cost of this large government.”
According to him, the costs of his new government would not be as high as people have complained about.
“The number, for instance, among the deputy ministers — 42 out of 50 are all parliamentarians, and in effect converting them from parliamentarians into ministers, the marginal cost of that transformation is minimal in terms of the public exchequer.”
He insisted that the ministers are needed for the “rapid transformation of this country.” [myad]
