John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has reaffirmed his commitment to reducing the size of government by appointing only 60 ministers if he wins the 2024 general elections.
This move, he believes, will significantly cut government expenditure, streamline agencies, and eliminate unnecessary creations to minimize waste.
Mahama’s plan is part of his broader vision to revamp Ghana’s economy, which has been struggling with high unemployment, rising inflation, and a widening gap between the rich and the poor.
“As I have said many times already, I will drastically reduce the size of government to reduce expenditure, by appointing not more than 60 ministers of state.
“Indeed, we started working on this, by realigning and merging ministries, departments and agencies. And we will appoint highly efficient, effective and smart appointees to eliminate duplication and waste,” Mahama said during his Governance Forum on Thursday, October 31, in Accra.
