    As I have always maintained, no leader born and raised in Ghana with a minimal foreign exposure (i.e, a leader who has not lived and worked extensively overseas) has nothing to offer Ghana. President Akufo-Addo is a home bree ...

    Thanks for your polite and insightful response. To buttress my point, Ian Kharma of Botswana is changing lives of the rural poor despite his privilege background. I am inclined to believe Akufo Addo practised in socialist Fra ...

    Stupidity at its best! Are we comparing tomatoes and apples here? It's about the number of ministers hired as high a number as 110, which can be nowhere compared to just a little over 80.

  • Mr Bond 7 years ago

    Idiot,who told you Mahama ministers were 80.it is fools who government can run with 69 or 80 ministers.Thiief Mahama ministers were 610 excluding the crying thieves.

  • Esemoara 7 years ago

    Any sane commentator cannot compare the standards expected of President Akufo-Addo to those of John Mahama.

    Mahama had a dead brain which led him to say of himself that he was a dead goat.

    Akufo-Addo, on the other hand ...

  • Yaw Kwakye 7 years ago

    Sorry Mr Duodu, the President's appointees are too small in number for a broken and highly indebted Nation like Ghana to fix quickly. Nana please appointee more of those competent ministers to fix Ghana properly.

    There are people who have refused to think. They are have been told the government is too small to fix the country's problems, and so they have accepted that is the case.

    I agree with you. I just hope they stop defending themselves, telling us they didn't promise a lean government. How can an elected government shoot themselves in the foot like that? If you have a Communications Minister like ...
