Upon assuming office as the president of Ghana, H.E Nana Akufo Addo exercised his constitutional powers and appointed ministers of state, regional ministers and their deputies all totaling one hundred and twenty three [123].
However, many Ghanaians including the opposition National Democratic Congress picked bones with the appointment arguing that the number of ministers are too many for such a small country like Ghana.
Speaking in an interview on Metro TVs Good Evening Ghana, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa revealed that when John Dramani Mahama wins this year’s December 7 general elections, President John Mahama will not appoint only eighty three [ 83 ] ministers, thus 40 ministers less than the number that President Nana Addo has appointed.
