The Member of Parliament of Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, has urged President to reconsider his threshold of appointing 60 ministers and to appoint additional ministers in order to effectively manage some of the ministries.
Appearing as a guest panelist on Peace FM's Kokrokoo on Friday, February 7, 2025, Assafuah argued that some ministries require more than one minister or deputy minister to effectively operate, citing the immense workload in such sectors.
He also pointed out that the merger of several ministries has made the work more demanding and challenging, compared to previous times, which is why he believes more ministers should be appointed to manage these ministries efficiently. "There are some places where I believe one minister is not enough.
For example, the Ministry of Local Government, where I was appointed as Deputy Minister, is a big ministry.
