Franklin Cudjoe, the President and CEO of the IMANI Centre for Policy and Education, has thrown his weight behind former President John Dramani Mahama's proposal to reduce the number of ministers in government.
Citing historical trends and financial implications, Cudjoe emphasized the urgent need for a leaner government to improve governance and curb wasteful spending.
Reflecting on Ghana's ministerial history, Cudjoe remarked, "The NDC government between 1992 and 2000 worked with 82 ministers, which increased to 93 under the NPP from 2000 to 2008.
Professor Mills, however, set the record for the lowest number with just 75 ministers, before President Akufo-Addo raised it to an unprecedented 110.
