How can we appoint all Ghanaians as ministers of state. In that case who is going to supervise who. I don't know why some academicians will decide to talk like serial callers. I don't think even party foot soldiers at the local level will behave like this. Look in countries where there are lean governments you will realize that governance is closer to the people. For instance, in federal republics like Germany, USA, Nigeria,etc, you will realize that a governor of a state has legislatures and secretaries/commissioners (ministers) at the state level to help them perform their mandate. This is not so with a centralized system like Ghana - especially when we have a very weak and ineffective civil and public service system. So with great challenges at hand, what do you expect the NPP government to do when the previous NDC government has increased Ghana's debt stock by 250% in just 8years. We need the expertise of these appointees to help us create health in order to be able to honour our monstrous obligations when they fall due

Greetings Prez Nana Addo,

With all due respect, Ghanaians voted for you because we really believed in you as a visionary leader. We were tired of the gross incompetence and bile we'd been fed for so long.

Your victory came as a much needed breath of fresh air. You're enjoying an outpouring of goodwill such as has not been seen in recent times.

Please, majority of Ghanaians are very unhappy with the size of your proposed government. There appears to be so much redundancy and overlap in roles. The associated cost is cause for worry for many a Ghanaian who are very aware of our precarious financial standing. It's too early for the dead goat syndrome to creep into your government.

The sages of old claim that the voice of the people is the voice of God. You can choose to listen to the masses and trim some fat off your budding government or choose to listen to the sychophantic echo chamber of your kitchen cabinet and pay the price for it down the line.

You have stated time and again that your desire is to leave a lasting legacy. I doubt that a fat and obese government that drains our scanty resources is part of what you intend to be your legacy.

Let's fix this mistake now before it becomes a cancer. No amount of linguistic gymnastics can adequately justify this. You asked us to be citizens and not spectators, if those words were true, please give meaning to them by your actions.

Long live Ghana
Long live the NPP
Long live Prez. Nana Akufo Addo!

"You asked us to be citizens and not spectators" Those words were not your Nana's own words, he stole them from other people, that means he was fooling the good people of Ghana and he don't really mean any of those words.

There should never be any hullabaloo about the size of this government except that the NDC criminals are jittery about the prospect of success of the Nana's government. Governments have priorities and that should reflect their goals. For instance, as soon the NDC was sworn into office in 2009 they quickly engaged themselves in collecting kickbacks by dolling out huge sums of money to their cronies in the lieu of settling judgment debts. And that's continued though out their 8 years in office, they borrowed so much money and invested in some sort of shady and unecessary infrastructure building through which they siphoned billions of cedis in kickbacks and sole sourcing bribery collections. Nana's government has promised to do a lot of oversights and have started by sending the various ministers to tour their prospective ministries, they have assured Ghanaians that they intend to protect the public purse. Definitely they (ministers)need to be present in the day to day activities of their various ministries but not only to sit down and issue directives , at the same time their deputies should also be present at other functions or the vice versa. Somebody had a smaller government but stole so much money, just consider the amount of money that went through SADA, SUBA, AMERIDEAL, WAYOMI GATE, OPUNI GATE, AKUA DONKOR GATE, and countless number of scandals that took place under the criminal NDC government and amount of money that went through the drain. Now these same criminals are crying foul about only 20 million cedis that will be used to pay for the services of these ministers.

Since Ghana's independence, there hasn't been any occasion, in economic history when there has been an urgent call by Ghanaians for immediate interventions. The govt of Nana Akufo-Addo made lots of promises to fix Ghana's ailing economy during NPP's campaign period. It's easy for people to criticize govt because of the number of ministers the President has picked. People should jsut stop all these criticizms and watch what H.E. The President is doing. Many of the people talking don't know what and how the President will solve the huge problems facing the govt and Ghanaians as a whole.

THE CASE THAT PEOPLE ARE RAISING AGAINST PRESIDENT AKUFO-ADO'S GOVT. IS POINTLESS, HE VISUALIZED THE AMOUNT OF MEN HE NEDED FOR THIS HEAVY TASK HE IMPOSED UPON HIMSELF AND THAT IS NOT ILLEGAL IN GHANA SO WHAT? HOW EVER THE POINT HE MADE ABOUT THE ECONOMY HE INHERITED IS EXPOSED AS UNTRUTH, BECAUSE AT LEAST I GIVE HIM CREDIT THAT HE CAN NOT BURDEN A COMATOSE ECONOMY WITH 110 MINISTERS, SO IT IS NOT TRUE THAT THE ECONOMY IS BAD THAT HE INHERITED!!

The President may be well-intentioned, but clearly he is mistaken on this one. What he should have done is to have gone for a leaner government, used some of these people as taskforce members and leaned heavily on the senior leadership of the civil and public service to tow his line and fully support his vision.

Where is that so called competent Bawumia? A competent leader doesn't need more ppl do fix something. In sociology, these 110 ppl will be doing social loafing n in the long run, the public purse will no more be protected

These people exaggerated our problems so much so that they don't know when to stop. Every new government complained about one mess or the other and eventually leave their own mess. Stop the whining and fix the damn thing. In 4 years, hawkers will still be there, galamsay will still be there, poverty will still be there, dumsor will still be there , the cedis will still fall, petrol will still be high, lorry fare will not be lower. 3 months into the government and you are still complaining about vehicles, whom are they fooling?

TO FIX WHAT KIND OF ECONOMY IN A COUNTRY, WHERE THE S CALLED NOISY EDUCATED WITH BIG DEGFREES ABND PHD TITLES DO NOT HAVE TECHNOLOGICAL AND INNOVATIVE SKILLS TO CREATE MIDDLE LEVEL DYNAMIC INDUSTRIES, MANUFACTURING FIRMS AND PROCESSING PLANTS TO PROPEL ECONOMIC GROWTH.

ARE THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN APPOINTED GOING TO DISTRIBUTE COCOA PLANTS TO THE COCOA FARMERS AND FOR THEM TO BOOST COCOA PRODUCTION, A PRIMITIVE SYSTEM THAT STILL HOLDS GHANA BACK IN ITS ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT.

WHAT IS DISTURBING IS, WE HAVE IN THE COUNTRY EDUCATED WITH BIG DEGREES AND PHD TITLES, PROFESSORS AND LECTURERS AND ONE WONDERS WHY THE HAV STILL NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THEIR ACQUIRED ACADEMIC QUAKIFICATIONS TO PROMOTE GROWTH IN GHANA.

DOESN'T SOUND VERY STRANGE AND FOR THE COUNTRY TO HAVE POOR PEOPLE.
