It looks the current president has actually reduced the number from 1,345 presidential staffers from when it was under Kuffuor to about half though still high.
It is recalled under the then President Kuffuor, it became 'Ya ...

That is all NDC can say.
I have been saying this for thousand times. Why so many people? It was the same at Ghana Telecom(GT) where we had 6400 employees and the company was losing $200 million a year.
Vodafone bought 75% of GT and trimmed the wor ...

The useless President keep adding more People everyday. This is really pathetic and disgraceful.
Alban Bagbin said it all - Mahama is corrupt - most corrupt. Mahama is the problem of Ghana
***NOTHING**--except bleeding the country to death from our meager resources.
Why do we need these many Ministers of State and presidential advisors—from one government to the other?? What do they do all day for the coun ...

YES INDEED! VULTURES AND VAMPIRES MILKING THE NATION DRY. FIRE DON BURN THEM!
I wonder what all these workers do on daily basis. The figure is just too high. Is it jobs for the boys/girls? This is a public waste and must be reduced drastically.
I want to be one of the watchman when mr.mills assume his new duty .
Both the NDC and NPP are the same.When the party elders use their followers as 'beasts of burden' during campaigns how do they reward them in victory? When others pump so much cash into campaigns how do the president pay them ...

You have been in power ^ Years. stop blaming NPP for your rubbish attempt at governing this country.
John Mahama has rather increased the number substantially because former President Kuffour had 427 Presidential Staffers. Even this was seen, those days, as too huge a figure.
Illiterate trokosi kola lying again. It is always ndc employing tribesmen. Rawlings had 1776 staffers with 1700 being trokosis.
K4 staffers were far less than that of Mahama. Even if it was bigger than NDC have taken into consideration quantum of salaries and allowance they are now taken.
Check your facts well. Kufour had 427 presidential staffers and not 1345.Even with that number he met hasrh critcism from social commentators.
Are you just throwing numbers out here just to lessen the imapct on the nation? What is this equalization stance that most people take? What is wrong is wrong! As the article stated, this must be filed on an annual basis. Can ...

Most of those perching are Trokosi's. And they are always up in arms against those who are trying to do things for themselves and not depending on Gov't.
Hmmnnn..... First clip Anita's dwarfs, and Murtala's mouth, dollar offerings to Duncan williams, Amaliba's mouth.... This must be a GREATES JOKE IN GHANA'S HISTORY YET.
WELL SPOKEN

Sgt Fiadzoe do you want to tell Ghanaians that what was not goo during NPP time is good in NDC time. No doubt you have failed us........
Can you compare JDM's abject failure to Kuffuor's record???? Please save suffering Ghanaians and stop this subjuvenile, pathetic untenable argument. Equalization does no put food on the table of the suffering masses.
USELESS NDC.ANWONA AND PEPEFO STAFFERS!WASTE OF MONEY.
Most of these people to be mentioned will be ghost.they font exist but their names will be written just to subtract ‘their' salaries.eeeiii Gh.smh
Pls they are not ghost names,making room for party foot soldiers at all cost is the cause of these problems.They are all hungry people who are looking for something to steal.
One way to demonstrate transparency is for Ghanaweb, Joy, Peacefm, graphic etc to publish the names. Add ttheir TORs. What did they do for Ghana last year. And can some one help us? How many work at 10 Dowing Street, London?
Why is there a need for nightwatchmen when there is police and military security for the President 24x7?
This is the reason the Cedi is falling. Wasteful spening of taxpayers money!
TRIBALISM

No wonder we are struggling

Mahama's Big head is Full of Foolishness.

Oh Ghana! When ooooo when ?
