Ghana's new president has reduced the number of government ministries to 23 from the previous 30 in line with his campaign promises.

When it comes to clustering subsectors to create ministries, every wise person you meet would have different opinions.

In the 2000s, the Kufuor government decided that "youth and sports" belonged with "education." The Mills government disagreed.

But the latter government felt that "works and housing" somehow fit well with "water resources." In all this clustering business, no government ever bothers to detail its thoughts as to justification.
