Ghana’s President Sets New Record With 110 Appointed Ministers by freemeicid(m): 1:50pm On Mar 19, 2017 |
Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo has set a record at least in his country for appointing 110 ministers. Fifty six of them are full ministers, while fifty are deputy ministers, with the remaining four, ministers of state. In contrast Nigeria has thirty five ministers and Britain has a total of 120 ministers for a population of about 65 million. Akufo-Addo who was elected last December on a manifesto to fix a host of economic problems and fight corruption, said the appointments were necessary. But critics believed that it was an overdo, describing the size of government as elephant for a country like Ghana. It is the largest government since the country of about 27 million inhabitants, adopted a democratic constitution in 1992. I’m aware that people are concerned about what they see as maybe the cost of this large government,” Akufo-Addo admitted in an interview on national television. It is a necessary investment to make for the rapid transformation of this country. Ministers are coming to work, it’s not going to be a holiday.” he said But the opposition party is less convinced about the benefit of having such a big government. We’re confronted with an elephant size of government and Akufo-Addo has proven that he’s a politician rather than a president,” said Haruna Iddrisu, leader of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Parliament. Akufo-Addo, who promised to cut superfluous government spending, has hit back at his opponents claiming it is a necessary investment for Ghana. Parliamentary sources told Reuters that top government appointees receive monthly salaries of about $4,000 (£3,326) in addition to at least two cars, free fuel, a house, free utilities and personal protection. It’s a case of jobs for the boys,” said politics lecturer Geoffrey Molu, whose comment was echoed on social media and by commentators on Ghana’s radio and TV channels. Government spokesman Nana Akomea said criticism would stop if the government delivers on its ambitious agenda.

I won't judge him yet. Not until these ministers dnt perform. Besides, 110 well-performing ministers in Ghana might earn far less than 30 under-performing ministers in Nigeria. |

comparing Nigeria and Ghana is never my thing. but i know more ministers means more mouth to feed and more pockets to fill. . Nigerian government adopts nonsense fast, I just hope we don't end up with a campaign promise of 200ministers come 2019. |

110 ministers? In Ghana for that matter? I keep saying it that African leaders doesnt know how to practise democratic system of government. Majority of African politicians see democracy as an opportunity to compesate their party loyalists! This Ghana case is another testifier to this, and that's the present predicament befalling Nigeria presently! When are we going to politically get it right in Africa! 1 Like |

Change has come to stay in Ghana. The key points of this article are: "Akufo-Addo, [who] promised to cut superfluous government spending..." And then when elected decided to assemble "the largest government since the country of about 27 million inhabitants, adopted a democratic constitution in 1992." Same behavior as a certain "CHANGE" government in Nigeria. I give Akufo 2 years. He'd start receiving the Buhari treatment. -Lord |

Can we now see that Nigeria is blessed with someone like Buhari? Buahri reduced the number of Ministers from God knows how many to 36 because the constitution did not allow him go lower. He also greatly reduced the number Ministries through merger. The president of Ghana is the exact opposite of Buhari, I think the guy thinks like Jonathan. |
