You are all there to enrich yourselves. You have nothing good for Ghana. Everybody wants a job from the gov't. I will die in America because I cannot reason with you guys. Thieves1
AKANS FAILED GHANA TOTALLY SO I WILL NOT LIKE TO START WITH TRIBALISM WHILE KNOWING THAT MY OWN PEOPLE COUND;NT HELP GHANA OUT AFTER 60YEARS RULE
YES; LETS TRY THE NTAFOU TO AND SEE THEIR HANDWRITTEN
Let's see if the Northerners can take us to the promised land.
A GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERNERS. DO YOU BLAME THEM? THIS IS THEIR TIME ...
YOU HAVE USED THEM TO WIN VOTES AND THEN DESTROYED GHANA. IT IS NOW THEIR TURN TO USE THEIR VOTES AND RULE..HOPE THEY DO BETTER.
I prefered Mahama to Akuffo Addo but his BIG GOVERNMENT mentality will defnitately put us on a path to deeper corruption and nepotism which might lead us to civil war.
Dr. Gariba's explanation should end any debate against the objectives of the “institutions under the presidency".
Corruption is endemic in Ghana because people like you support it, by throwing unguarded stones at public fi ...

KU4 DID EXACTLY THE SAME - GOVT WAS FULL OF ASHANTIS, INCLUDING ALL HIS FAMILY MEMBERS - QUALIFIED AND UNQUALIEFIED. IT IS THE TIME OF THE NOTHERNERS. I DON'T BLAME MAHAMA.
This is stupidity to the highest order. A country like Ghana with 25 million people has 29 Ministries apart from the regional Ministers and we still have institutions not under any of these Ministries? We are going to have tw ...

ALL THE PRESIDENTS DID THE SAME. THEY HAD MINISTERS AT THE CASTLE AND GAVE THEM DIFFERENT TITLES.
For how long shall we continue repeating avoidable appointment mistakes in the name of de ja vu and antecedent?
Are we fools?
SEEWAAH, the reign of the NTAFOURS has began. I do not have high expectations for our country. Boko Haram is not too far from our borders. Woe to my country. Hail to the TANI. Ghana has gone to the dog eaters!!
Aduanaba, your comment shows you do not love your country ,u are just pretending. If you loved your country ,you would move back to make a change in others.
Gariba with your PHD what have U done for Ghana since you did not pay for school fees. Now gov't has to give you cars, petrol for you and your concubines. How much is left for development Dr. policy advisor? Fools!
Sulley, good idea, what is most crucial for the Mahama presidency is quality service delivery at the end of the day.Good luck.
To Aduanaba, Sully set up a major think tank known as the Institute for Policy Alternate in Ta ...

Suulley did acieve anything! He only succeeded in forming an NGO and using the development aid funds to enrich himself, by building around. What kind of think-tank did he set up? and what did it achieve? It was only meant to ...

You are a disappointment to yourself. If you could do one tenth of what he has done for Ghana you would not think of dyeing in America. I can assure you that if you take your time to research about Dr Sulley G you would know ...

WE WELCOME THE PRESIDENT DECISION FOR NOMINATING THE SIX PERSONS,HE BELIEVED IN THEM.WE PRAY FOR THEM.
WE CONGRATULATE YOU TO THE HIGHER OFFICE AND ALSO PRAY FOR GOD GUIDANCE.WE HOPE THAT GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH THIS RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS IMPOSED ON YOU.
Ask the CEO of UT Bank how many deputies he has. Ghana is nothing more than a cash cow to be milked. May all those who loot choke on their own vomit
All those so called 51 institutions can found their way in any of the many ministries if sulley gaariba cares to know. How do Sulley Gariba belittle our intelligence by claiming they are the coe the governance in Ghana? eg ca ...

Democracy as it stands, is not working for Ghana. We elect thieves to come and ply their trade. What is Ministers of State? Mahama will do whatever to give jobs to those around him and that is the trend in Ghana. All these ...

Six Minister of Statess for What??? Please it is too much. Mr. President.
Gariba is a Senior policy Coordinator? Don't the organizations he has identified to be among the 51 have Heads who should report to him?
a very good question indeed! what are his own duties and don't those institutions have heads?
I, MY FAMILY AND MY FRIENDS DID NOT VOTE FOR AKUFO BIN ADDO. SUPREME COURT CAN NOT TOUCH MY VOTE I GAVE TO PRESIDENT MAHAMA

Some of us would like to KNOW which 51 INSTUTIONS are under the presidency! It doesn't look as if we want to do REALLY HARDWORK for the Nation BUILDING!!!
Anyhow, the TARGETS SOUND GOOD and IF the president, through HIS NUME ...

what do cabinet ministers (not those of state) do then? one would assume those institutions fall under these ministries and ministers...
i really dont get it MINISTER OF STATE at the presidency and so many of them each time.it is not just now and has nothing to do with Mahama but this whole issue of sending people there with NO JOB DESCRIPTION is nauseating to ...

Don't defend this blatant loading of the ministries with Northerners. Of the the 148 Ndc MP's, 44 are from the three Northern regions. Greater Accra gave Accra 31 MP'S, Volta region, 25 or 26 if you count the Independent cand ...

Why so many northerners in Mahama's government?
KU4 DID THE SAME
as we wait for the one who was duely voted for by Ghanaians Mr.current president appiont more for it won't be long
Job for Mahama's friends.
This feels really wrong to me. Just jobs for party insiders! Ghana deserves better!
These six ministers of State are deemed to be crucial to Mahama's government.
The assumption being these Mahama Six will play the role of inspectors of the inspectors of the 51 institutions to see to their effective and effi ...

right on, but quite hilarious!
Why does Mahama think that only Ewes and northerners are smart to be appointed ministers?
Quick question for Sully-Gariba. Can you tell the whole contry the level and diversity of knowledge and experience these staffers are bringing to the presidency and how much is it going to cost the Ghanaian tax payer, especia ...

Dr Sule, Kindly give good advice. The countrymen are too many as ministers.
Lets veer off the Kuffour and Mills appointment trends. Go through south east and west small. unify
All these northerners who have been appointed ministers enjoyed free education. Yet Mahama is adamant that free education is inimical to the Ghanaian economy. Clearly, Mahama's stand on free education is a ploy to ensure not ...

As one of the very few people abroad who had a genuine belief in Mahamma and was never swayed by NPP propaganda; my concern about his appointments has become an issue.
I've been the lone ranger all this time amongst a pack ...

both Mahama and Gariaba are both a disgrace. They are incopetent. How can you appoint 6 ministers of state in such a poor country? This is job for the boys, period. Look at how poor people are in the north? They dont care
