The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has announced that he will not appoint more than 50 ministers if elected as President. Speaking at NPP's manifesto launch in Takoradi on Sunday, Dr Bawumia emphasised the need for a lean and efficient government to better serve the people of Ghana. He argued that a smaller cabinet would reduce government expenditure and improve decision-making processes. He also noted that his administration would ensure fiscal discipline and introduce a flat tax system to promote the growth of business across the country. "Offer a one-time tax amnesty to all Ghanaians and corporate entities through tax amnesty from the payment of taxes from the previous years, the waiving of interest and penalties for failures to file taxes in previous years. "This will enable everyone to start their tax journey afresh. It will "wipe the slate clean" for all taxpayers in Ghana.
