CDD where were you when the NDC government was borrowing dollars upon dollars and there was not much to show for those huge borrowings?
If by enlarging his Ministerial numbers is what the President is sure can help him get over the quagmire in which we find ourselves, why are you in a hurry to put pressure on him CDD ?
You can advise him to review the numbers of his Ministers if after over one year there are no positive signs of that large number contributing positively to the economy. It is too early in the day to start commenting negatively over their numbers and, don't forget, the President did not single-handedly choose to go along this path. He must have done so with persons with equal economic and governance brains who are advising him.

THEY SAY THEY NEED 110 MINISTERS TO DELIVER ON PROMISES MADE TO GHANAIANS. THEN, WE SHOULD RATHER HAVE 110 PRESIDENTS INSTEAD. THAT WILL MAKE THINGS EASIER. REAL INCOMPETENT

The appointment of 110 is very embarrassing, to say the least. A single purpose ministry for what? Couldn't Nana had appointed Prof. Yankah a Presidential Advisor for Tertiary Education assuming there is something special to warrant such an appointment? Is it too late to withdraw the letters of appointement?

I am interested to know what you base your argument that 110 is too many. 110 is just a number, the real deal is can they improve Ghana's economy? In life you have to invest to harvest!

Nana Addo is the President and leader.
He understands what he plans to deliver for the country and the resources required to do so.
In my view we cannot compare his number of ministers with previous governments because his vision is more revolutionary.
Also the extent of corruption and leakages he wants to deal with may require more hands on approach and intense monitoring by his ministers than those governments who accepted corruption as business as usual.

People are talking without logic because they want to render an opinion. There is no ideal size of government just as the is no ideal volume of manifesto promises. These lazy think tanks who have never run a government before freely trade indefensible opinions on how political parties should run government whilst demanding high performance. in Ghana it takes people to lead and act. John Mahatma had a smaller government because that is suitable when you are contracting for infrastructure projects

Don't you know that on the average the nation will spend over Ghc30m on these ministers annually? So if say half of this amount was to be saved couldn't it build more schools, hospitals, water etc? If can are not careful this nation will fail because these wastes when accumulated takes up a huge chunk of our revenue . Eventually as a malnourished child when we have failed to have the right nutrition at the appropriate stage of development we become stunted in growth. I foresee this happening to us if we don't We are not prudent.

My reaction to the 110 ministers appointed was like most people in Ghana and outside it. However on sobber reflection I thought the man at the helm knows what it takes to help the country. Nana has assessed the task ahead and decided that a big govt will help him solve Ghana's economy. We just have to wait and see. My beef is that there is nowhere with reliable [I stand corrected] in Ghan where one can get information about the govt and its work. If there was one could check and challenge Nana about the size of his govt. Let's not keep comparing number of ministers in UK, US, India etc with ours. These places have well drilled or oiled CIVIL SERVANTS to run the country. These civil servants will not bow to any govt but the country so UK, US do not need large numbers of ministers. I will reserve judgement and I hope you too do the same.

CDD go and get your facts before making unnecessary noise. US and India run a federal system with state governors, senators, reps and state ministers/commissioners. Their system is much more expensive and elaborous than 110 ministers/deputies. UK which some refer to runs a four nation sytems with first minister/ministers and national parliaments/assembly in Scotland, Wales , Northern Ireland and City of London. The central government in these countries only serves as coordinators. Allow the oldman to work.
