Sammi Awuku has cast doubt on the government's promise to cut down wastage, suggesting that recent decisions indicate otherwise.
Awuku, who previously served at the National Lottery Authority (NLA), directly under the Ministry of Finance, pointed out inconsistencies in the government's claim of streamlining operations. "They talk about reducing wastage, but we are yet to see real action. "The list of presidential staff will be submitted to the Council of State and eventually Parliament, and guess what? "Regional executives of the ruling party are being given presidential staffer status," he revealed.
He argued that if the government was serious about efficiency, it should start by addressing internal excesses before making dismissals under the guise of reform.
In his State of the Nation Address today, President John Dramani Mahama outlined his administration's vision for economic recovery, job creation, and infrastructural development.
