  There is an opportunity for Nana Akufo-Addo to address this concern,he shd slash down all the benefits that are due to ministers.The nation stands to lose if he shd use what John Mahama govt used for his ministers.

  Zoobie-Zoobie, Nana's appointment of the three deputy finance ministers is a step in the right direction because of your NDC criminal embezzlement of our funds, I know that one deputy minister's sole responsibility will be oversights and investigations into the allegations of the humongous financial misappropriation that took place under the watch of the John Cribo Mahama's administration. I know you as a faceless goon appearing under numerous pseudonyms to protect your ass. But don't worry l know who you are and very soon I will blow your cover for everyone to know the real you. And people won't be surprised as to why you were protecting your interests. Thief.!!!!

  Stephen Donkor you are of the criminal NPP party. The singular act of stealing is the $300m that Kuffour government stole in the name of the faceless EO group. That oil money is equivalent to GHS1.5 billion (One and half billion Ghana cedis). The same amount is being stolen by Nana by allocating that huge amount to the flagstaff House. Government lands at choice locations were sold to party cronies and ministers. Even K4s son wasn't left out as in the case of Kuffour hotel. So tell criminal certificateless lawyer Nana to let his criminal gang go after NPP thieves first, not selective justice. You even sound like a drug dealer, come home and feel the high cost of living Nana has unleashed on Ghana since he took over, Price of fuel and goods are up.

  Nana Akomea and his cohorts must note that no country in Africa is a heaven and will never be so. As we talk, no Ghanaian will love to migrate to any African country for prosperity. Watch it. The reason is that all the others are just like Ghana or worse. Libya which used to be an attractive country is no more. Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Togo, Egypt and all are not attractive
  any more. What can Akufo Addo do differently? All the mouth-watering promises are just on paper because there will be no funds for that. This must not be a justification for creating some 'huhudious' jobs for the boys. May holy ghost fire burn the already twisting lips of this deceitful old man, Akufo Addo.

  Itch issue a fallacy to say a company in distress needs an elephant size workforce to put it back on track. Where in the world is this done. Give us just one example. It is a clever way of stealing using the rules of engagement. Nana is clearly circumventing the laws in order to decipate our scarce resources. Will he do that if it were his personal business organization? Just calculating the cost to the state coffers is mind boggling. Yet we are still going to beg for aid or still borrowering when we were told our debt stock is unsustainable by this same party when they were in opposition. That is the deception. Ghanaians are already seeing the lies and greed of the people who said they were going to protect the public purse.

  Nana Ado will disappoint Ghanaians who put him there as their leader and the disappointments have started emerging because people are beginning to realize the mistakes they have done,since in the history of our country after indepenence from the British colonia masters,this present government of NPP led by Nana Ado is the most by far the largest ministers he has appointed to manage the country's driving force to see the country running the programs it deserves,however,some of us who are not comfortable about such appointments are doing so because when NPP was in opposition they had lashed out the NDC government as corrupt,incompetent,and the the size of the ministerial appointments it created as needles but Nana Ado and his government has become the most "xxxl government in the history of this country and this is the time to put pressure on him to trim the size of his government because the time to do so is today not tomorrow,it is easy to convince the people to win power but it isn't the same to rule,all these confusing is because Nana Ado promised too much to voters and promised too much for individuals ministerial appointments and this is what we are seeing today because Nana Ado bite more than he can chew.
