The soon-to-be minority leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Alexander Afenyo Markin, has stated that while in opposition, his party will closely monitor how the incoming John Mahama administration manages the public purse.
According to him, he does not believe the NDC government can effectively address the excessive use of state funds, despite claims from their leader, the president-elect, John Mahama.
Mr Mahama has pledged to run a lean government if he is re-elected as president.
Before last week's general election, he reiterated his commitment to drastically reduce the size of government if he returns to power.
