  • Ras Kumar 10 years ago

    What exactly do you mean by "those roles are carefully thought through"....these positions are simply jobs for the boys and girls and are a drain on our meagre resources.

    He didn't exactly say what important functions the deputy ministers perform because he wants to save his job. Tell us what deputy ministers do that any "joe blow" cannot do.

    DEPUTY MINISTERS ARE LOCAL GUYS WHO HAPPEN TO HAVE UNIVERSITY DEGREE WITH OUT EXPERIENCE MAKING THINGS HARDER IN THE COUNTRY

  • Kofi 10 years ago

    If there are no deputy ministers, the duty of raining insults on Ghanaians may be too much for the minister alone. The directors will not help with that because they are real humans with good training.

  • MARCUS AMPADU 10 years ago

    The duties of a Deputy Minister can effectively be handled by someone with a training in ICT and has good communication skill.
    Besides, the nation will save lots of money by abolishing the positions.

  • MAKEMAKE 10 years ago

    We behave as if we are afraid to use machines. They will help us solve our corruption problem.

    YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS IGNORANT AND SPEAKING FROM THE POSITION OF IGNORANCE. WHAT ROLES DO YOU DEPUTIES PLAY> NOTHING. JUST GETTING THE COUNTRY INTO DEBT WITH FAT SALARIES AND PERKS.

  • Toronto T 10 years ago

    Prez. Mahama should rid his cabinet of this man if he REALLY wants to be taken seriously.

    This feckless deputy minister has been begging to be replaced if not totally scraped as a role.

    Not when they are unintelligent and mature like those presently in this government who simply seem not to have any clue about their work.

  • serious person 10 years ago

    What will you say, you said you harder than your fellow useful idiot as a deputy minister. Governance being debased by these x'ters.

  • Jim Jones 10 years ago

    Deputy ministers are important because they are job for the boys. Murtala I wonder if America has deputy ministers?

    These deputy ministers are just there like Vicky said for the money, free cars, free medicals, free accommodation, free light and water bills, foreign trips with your girl friends, exgratia awards, and just lie all the time. ...

    Strictly speaking, Deputy Ministers are not needed in any way. They do practically nothing to merit the pay we give them.
