Good job JDM. Very good start. I believe if you continue working in the interest of Ghana and not the NDC, all of us will definitely support you.

Avoid self seeking sycophants and people who would sing your praises even when you are wrong such as FRANKIE and you will go down history as one of our best presidents in history.

It is still early in the day, but I believe the people of Ghana are encouraged by what I see as transformative leadership for now. However, if you begin to get power drunk and start your dead goat syndrome attitude tainted with corruption, we will constructively come after you big time.

Ghana must be better than how you found it.

It is up to JDM to prove the 41% or more of Ghanaians who didn’t vote for him wrong. And I believe he has started well.

Smaller government means, less corruption, less V8, less petro, less govt housing, and less pay out. govt. Keeps more of its money for other projects. The Ghana regions should be reduced back to ten. The expansion to 16 regions was a scam to sort out party boys. If the ministers of highly populated Accra and Kumasi can handle their jobs, so should the other 8... COCOBOD, GNPC, and other agencies are top heavy with directors and deputy directors doing nothing but ciphoning money with little output. Reduce the number, cut allowances, perks, and pay more to cocoa farmers.

Not that I underestimate the gains Ghana will make, but it will save us only the salary and allowance of 7 ministers, which may not be significant incase those 7 ministers are already members of parliament. Many accused Akufo-Ado of having many ministers, but it was a smart way of bringing his MPs onboard at almost the same cost. An MP who doubles as a minister will chose to receive salary as either MP or Minister (almost the same wage), but will do both jobs. As for the staff of those ministries merged or scrapped, they can't be sacked because they are public servants who have to be reassigned. In effect the budget may remain quite the same. The difference is those ministers will have more responsibilities which can reduce efficiency. Let's wait until all the appointments are made then we can analyze the efficiency vs cost of governance based on facts and figures to tell if JDM's strategy is better than the Akufo-Ado's.

Water is also a natural resource and should have therefore gone to the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources.

Anyway, structure follows strategy. The strategy, from what we are hearing, is to avoid the duplications of functions, reduce costs and improve efficiency. But this may also lead to unnecessary bureaucracies, especially where the Minister may want to approve everything, including the purchase of common stationery and toiletries. Other equally important functions, Departments and Agencies may be subsumed by the seemingly larger or supposedly more important ones. Resources may thinly be allocated or applied, focus in those areas lost, inertia and demotivation may set in among the personnel, and finally those Functions, Departments, Agencies and their personnel may be neglected and abandoned. These are pitfalls that must not be overlooked, as they pursue reduced costs and efficiency strategies.

Good move but the ministry of fisheries and aquaculture can be under water resources or under agriculture with a director.

Ministry o$ youth development an# also sports recreation are all useless and a waste of state resources and I want this president to explain to us on live yout8why we have these. Youth development? This must be job creation n that's done at the district, municipal and regional level no cabinet office you empower the mcdce, mayor's to do this, very intentionally, like after school programs, summer or vacation employment. Sports n recreation should be champion by the veep n first Lady. Roll out sports n recreation in school again these must be intentional with the aim of creation a society that engages in recreational sporting activities therefore empower regional govts to roll out more recreation and sports programs, regional recreational parks, walk run activities, achimota Forrest must be turned into central park. We don't need a cabinet office for this infact look at the wealthy g7 nations do they do these? This we why you emulate n c copy from those doing best than you are

Tackle the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration as well. Too many of "job for the boys" in various Ghana embassies abroad with little or no work to do , yet drain our foreign currency. Some are posted straight from the Jubilee House with qualification that has nothing to do with their posting.

Fish is food, there’s no need for Ministry of Fisheries. Road is transport. Abolish ministry of roads and highways. Gender is waste of money, it is just political correctness gone mad.

Idiot road is the pestle and mortar and fufu is the cassava or plantain. Can you call all them fufu? Gyimi...land and buildings are not the same.

I read through the comments and realised how dump and foolish the Ghanaian is by overly praising this cosmetic gesture.
If I may ask,will he sack the civil servants in this merged or collapsed ministries,so where is the savings and cost cutting we are talking of.
And where is the so-called extra cost if a minister is a member of parliament appointed to head a ministry,will he/she take double salary.
