The Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has urged President John Mahama to reconsider his commitment to appointing not more than 60 ministers, urging him to apologise to Ghanaians and increase the number of appointees to ensure effective governance.
President Mahama, during his campaign, pledged to limit his ministerial appointments to 60 as part of a promise to promote efficiency and reduce government expenditure.
However, Mr Afenyo-Markin argues that such a restriction may hamper the government's ability to manage the complexities of governance.
