Private legal practitioner and New Patriotic Party (NPP) affiliate, Frank Davies, has expressed approval of President John Mahama’s decision to limit his administration to 60 ministers.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile, Davies acknowledged the president’s effort to fulfil a key campaign promise.
“I must say from the outset that I am enamoured by the fact that His Excellency President John Mahama intends to stick to a select number of sixty ministers. I only wish that he will be able to stick to that number,” he remarked, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a lean and efficient government.
Drawing a parallel to his own party’s 2024 presidential flagbearer, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Davies noted that the former candidate had pledged to run the country with a maximum of 50 ministers.
“After all, our presidential flagbearer and candidate at the time, Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, intended to govern this country with fifty ministers.
So, if President Mahama is sticking to his list of sixty, we all have to commend him for at least doing what is right by the people and keeping to his campaign and manifesto promise,” he added.
The preceding government under Nana Akufo-Addo faced backlash for appointing over 120 ministers, with many arguing that such a large number of appointees was not only inefficient but also a drain on national resources.
