Felix Kwakye Ofosu has criticized the previous NPP government for maintaining what he described as an unnecessarily large government size.
Addressing the media, he revealed that under the NPP, the Office of the President alone had hundreds of political appointees, a situation he says will not be repeated under President John Dramani Mahama. "You can verify for yourself that in 2022, the NPP government had hundreds of political appointees working under the Office of the President," he stated.
According to him, this number remained unchanged in the subsequent years, leading to excessive government spending.
He emphasized that President Mahama's administration will not come anywhere close to such numbers, explaining that only a reasonable number of presidential staffers and aides will be appointed. "We can state emphatically that it will be nowhere near half of what the NPP did when they were in power," he asserted.
