Outgoing DCEs must leave handing over notes and prepare for a smooth transition at the districts. NPP members in each constituency must meet to select new DCEs as soon as possible to be presented to the president. The president does not reside in all districts at the same time so this is the only good approach

These academics talk by heart without understanding that Ministers are primarily appointed to design and oversee implementation of policy, and their especially important in accounting to Parliament on behalf of the President. If a particular President sets himself a high bar in his manifesto which most academic have said is over ambitious why are you concerned about how he wants to deliver that as promised. The largest drain on the economy is corruption, sole sourcing and incompetence and sheer negligence. You have not commented on that before but you are crying over salaries, cars and perks of 4 additional Ministers to the previous high of 32 by JAK. Yet even the NDC admits grudgingly that his was a very successful presidency. Let see if Dr. will recommend that the Departments and faculties in his University be merged and reduced drastically to save costs on having many Departmental Director or Heads. What is good for goose ...

We need systemic thinkers not the likes of you. Ghana doesn't need more than 50 - 60 ministers and their deputies for Christ sake. Think and re-think and stop insulting

Incompetence is their baby word but it's now on display for all to see. To make such useless appointments and at the same time telling the world that your economy is facing challenges defies logic. Or that is how to fulfil the campaign promise of putting money in SOME peoples pockets. And to Queen, if we're paying huge interests on loans is that a reason to further squander our resources? Someone did wrong and was voted out so you too should be allowed to mess us up.

Who tells you that the size of government necessarily leads to increased cost of government? If you have nothing to say please don't say it here.

What did this so called economist say about Mahama's 3 wis men-ministers to oversee his 200 SHS projects fiasco? The difference is that Nana's new ministries are strategic to fulfil his many campaign promises. He will surely deliver and go for a 2nd term. Bawumiah will follow as president for another 8 years, then Alan will come for his 8 years, followed by Agyarko for 4 years. Mark my words and prophesy.

Efficient appointees don't drain resources but rather add on to resources due to high productivity and yield. Corruption, create, loot and share are indicators that drain resources.

IT DOES, AND IT IS ALSO GOING TO GIVE A HALT ON ALL INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE COUNTRY.

WHEN ONE LOOKS TO THE PROFILES OF THE NEWLY APPOINTED MINISTERS, ONE QUESTIONS HIMSELF, WHY THE NATION GHANA IS STILL ECONOMIC BACKWARD, UNDERDEVELOPED AND EXTREME POVERTY.

THE APPOINTMENTS ARE ONLY TO DESTROY FURTHER THE LAND OF OUR BIRTH.
