Ghana’s president defends decision to appoint 110 ministers

Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo has defended his decision to appoint 110 ministers.

In an interview on national television on Friday, Akufo-Addo said the decision was a necessary investment.

I’m aware that people are concerned about what they see as maybe the cost of this large government,” he said.

“It is a necessary investment to make.”

He added that the costs of his new government would not be as high as people might think.

“The number, for instance, among the deputy ministers — 42 out of 50 are all parliamentarians, and in effect converting them from parliamentarians into ministers, the marginal cost of that transformation is minimal in terms of the public exchequer,” he said.

The ministers are needed for the “rapid transformation of this country”, Akufo-Addo said.

The President had appointed dozens of lower-level and regional ministers.
