President John Dramani Mahama's commitment to forming the leanest government in Ghana's history has sparked lively debate across political circles.
The acting spokesperson for the presidency, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has defended the president's approach, emphasizing its focus on efficiency and expertise.
Speaking during an interview on Starr FM, he remarked that the president's primary objective is to assemble a team with the necessary skills and knowledge to address the nation's challenges. "President Mahama has committed to assembling an efficient team with the requisite expertise, experience, and know-how to turn around the dire situation our country faces," he stated, stressing that the lean government would prioritize functionality while conserving national resources.
Meanwhile, the phased rollout of ministerial appointments, however, has drawn criticism from some quarters, particularly from the Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin.
