IF AFUTS3 SAYS HE'LL USE HIS BACK TO RECEIVE A PASS BEFORE DROPPING THE BALL, WETIN CONCERN YOU, ZOOBIE?

THE CONSTITUTION GIVES THE PRESIDENT THE POWER TO FORM A GOVERNMENT. IT DOESN'T CURTAIL HIS CABINET NUMBERS.

It is bad enough for an albino to be annoying us but if you a notorious homosexual insulting us, it is unbearable. Nana should not allow Akomea to be talking to normal Ghanaians.

What happened to EFFICIENCY? At best they could be effective but not efficient. That will amount to the same mediocrity that you touted a while ago.

So if you complain and I produce a reason, how does it make me arrogant? That is the problem with we the Ghanaians. In what way is Nana Akomea exhibiting arrogance? Or is it because you think the ministerial appointments are many so it is indefensible. I want somebody to tell me the portion in the constitution where the President has breached. People say a country with on 26million does not need this number of minister and they go ahead and compare with UK or US but you forgot that ur country has a lot of challenges and problems as compared to the developed countries.

In the modern art of governance, government has to get bigger, before it gets smaller. Smaller governments is the bane to development in developing countries, Ghana included. Nana Akuffo Addo is on the right track. There is going to be effectiveness in the delivery of governance to the people of Ghana. This is how you build a government, and after the necessary developmental ground work is put in place, the big government is reduced, through private partnership and contracting. I was impressed by the creation of Procurement Ministry, Minister in-charge of Higher Education and Minister of State for Agriculture. These newly created ministries, will go a long way to reduce corruption in higher places, link national development to higher education and research, as well as, re-tool agriculture, as the engine of economic growth, to create jobs for the youth, instead of galamsey. Bravo, Nana Addo, damn your critics, for they know not!

Good to have this new president but it is definitely not have these many people in the cabinet. The financial cost is heavy to the nation. You do not have to please everyone when you come to power and therefore give them positions. How do you account for oversight over their performances and what is there for them to do? Developed nations don't even have that many.

I believe it is the word 'minister' that scares many, perhaps we will just call them servants, leaders, coordinators, whatever!

Indecision may have led to this large number but never too late to reverse. For instance, Prof Yankah could not be a Deputy to Napo, so he is made Minister of State in charge of Tertiary!! Simply making him the Minister of Education, will reduce the number from 4 in Education to 3. The rush to make Napo Minister of Education had raised this problem. The Ministers Afeku, Otiko could at best been Deputy not Ministers!!

best mechanical advantage has always been and shall always remain a little effort (input) to overcome the heaviest of load. Worst is a excess effort (excessive force) to overcome a little load.

When the wall street crashed and all else came tumbling down in the USA, President Obama did NOT increase his cabinet nor secretaries of state to overcome a tumbling economy but used what human resources within his powers to overcome the worlds largest economy from total crash. That is efficiency at work, that is integrity at work, that was competence at play. This is totally unacceptable for a small economy such as ours, struggling to stand on its feet. Osafo Maafo, a mechanical engineer, should know better and advise better. Its a shame

One term Presidency is real and the new norm.
Considering what Nana Akomea said on Asempa FM in 2013, if we are not to be mistaken, after 4 years, it has actually gotten worse thus the exit of the Mahama NDC gov't.
Unless, what Ghanaians were told by the NPP concerning the state of affairs under the Mahama NDC gov't was false, some of which Nana Akomea enumerated ie no gas for power, rationing of water etc, etc.
The economy and the Exchequer cannot and should not, support the huge number of deputy ministers and notwithstanding this basic fact, governance necessarily for it to be effective and efficient needs smartness leveraging on innovative and improved ways of getting the job done and that should be the goal.
The concerns about the large ministerial number would not be over anything time soon and it must be addressed.
The President needs good advice, good counsel, good feedback on the issues instead of pigeon-holing him to fail on his agenda by defending the indefensible.

Once upon a time a sitting president and commander of the Ghana arm forces gave an executive order that one criminal 419 by name woyome should not be paid some free state money Gh51.2million but was ignored,this money has been with this criminal for all this years after the then government itself promised to retrieve the said unjustifiable cash for Ghanaians but put up a very abysmal legal team which failed to do that.Today a legitimate president has made legitimate appointments for people to effectively protect the public purse and this same party that gave out our money gh51.2million to a criminal pretend they care about Ghanaians so much that they re all over the place with stupid and ridiculous arguments.They should first go to woyome persuade him to pay us our money before they talk.Gloria Akufo is too slow for my liking,if puts this idiots and corrupt for leaders to court Ghanaians ll see the need to protect the public purse with this appointments.What moral rights has Ndc to talk about the size of government?was the government big when they paid woyome all this free money?someone who didn't work and admitted he had no contract with the government of Ghana on peacefm. Where's Betty Mould Iddrisu the wife of Alhaji Mahama Iddrisu who got Mr Martin Amidu fired by Atta Mills just to protect his criminal wife,Allah ll punish him dearly as he draw closer to his grave unless he's innocent.
