Expect a much smaller presidential staff than Akufo-Addo's 336 - Felix Kwakye Ofosu
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of State for Government Communication
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of State for Government Communication, has promised that President John Dramani Mahama's administration will continue to run a lean government with presidential staff appointments staying much below the 336 personnel assigned during Akufo-Addo's administration.
In an interview with Channel One TV, Kwakye Ofosu questioned the reasoning behind the previous administration's over 100 ministers and emphasized the government's determination to limit ministerial nominations to 60.
“There were 333 or 336 political appointees at the presidency under Akufo-Addo. As I speak with you, there are not more than 50 at the presidency.
“It will not go beyond a certain limit. It will go nowhere near the 336 we had under former President Akufo-Addo There too, there’s going to be some serious cutting of numbers in order to ensure that we don’t go beyond reasonable limits,” a report by channel1news.com quotes him as saying.
He disagreed with calls for President John Dramani Mahama to reevaluate his choice to nominate only 60 ministers.
