Ndc will never come back to power,you don't even have nobody to be your presidential candidate a rejected party by decent people. Huuuuuu ndc huuuuuuu we the people of Ghana don't like you thieves, arrogant ,disrespectful and dishonest lot, insulting and incompetent bunch of idiots.

And he wants to spend it anyhow.The end will justify the means.The constitution was drafted in 1992 by people who were just bussed by the then "great leader" from all walks of life.I wonder how well-read "Dr" Ayariga is but the majority of the people who drafted the Constitution in 1992 knew very little about what was going on.Rawlings just wanted them to write down what he wanted.The reason no one knew exactly what PV Obeng's post was back then.
So Ayariga should understand that the least of our worries is a bigger government.Corruption pilfering state coffers overbloated contracts and the like are the major cause of our downfall .Mr Ayariga claims to have made a million dollars at age 24.Good for him.How much taxes has he paid to government though this far?

how does the senior minister become a prime minister? The Prime is head of Government and the president become a nominal head as it was in the second republic. Ayariga is only trying to suggest something which is does not exist. He will hit the rock. As Prz Kufour suggested, people must allow Nana Addo to choose the men he thinks will enable him perform to take Ghana from the woods.
One might taught about the cost of creating the position but if that is going to ensure efficiency and good governance, then it it be. If the minister could prevent the situation where ministers share tractors meant for the farmers among themselves like Ayariga and his ilk did when the Ndc took over the tractors Kufuor imported for farmers in the northern regions. Understand Ayariga alone took not less than four tractors.

There is precedence within the Cabinet as established by the President and some Ministers preceded others. It is for this reason that the President can designate a senior minister who by nature and character is a minister of state but is so designated to precede his peers. There is nothing constitutional wrong even if one may not necessarily like such an act which could well undercut the authority of a vice president.

Indeed, I can agree that the constitution makes provision for four kinds of ministers. Ministers of state, deputy ministers of state, regional ministers and deputy regional ministers. Also, these ministers are classified into cabinet ministers and non cabinet ministers.

However designating a minister of state is not unconstitutional. If that were the case the minister of energy could also be described as unconstitutional. The essence is that the senior minister is a minister of state with a designation of senior minister. This is a simple matter that should not lead to one splitting hairs.

There is a hierarchy of Ministers under the Constitution. In fact, Cabinet Ministers have seniority over non-Cabinet Ministers. And within Cabinet, the Ministers in the National Security Council have seniority over those who are excluded from that group.
