Ghana will only move forward with an Asante president and Asante majority ministers. I am not being tribalistic here but it is a fact of life. Asante means hardwork and progress. Ghana is nothing without Asante gold and cocoa. Ghana has not moved forward because we have had presidents with the names like Rawlings, Limann, Atta Mills and Mahama who are lacking in confidence. The general hatred of Asantes WILL DOOM GHANA.

It's important to start somewhere and realigning the ministries is not a bad start. I only hope we will not have few ministers with uncountable number of special assistants

In order to achieve this, he must certainly scrape some ministries and merge others. That is exactly what he has started.

Bright, efficiency is not only measured by how much money you save. I don’t think you believe that Mahama did this only for the pecuniary value. To couch it as such in your article is not honest. To further suggest reasons like ‘optics’, ‘public sentiment’ is mischievous. For the love of God, he’s only been President for a 5 days! When he speaks of reviewing free SHS which is a contributory factor to the ‘behemoth’ Education Ministry, that’s what his reforms mean. I know you guys can’t wait to pick up where you left off in 2016. But allow the man to work first. You hurt your credibility with silly articles like this.

Asking the question if the staff of those collapsed ministries will go home is irrelevant. Their appointment isn't subject to power change. If the president decides to merge or scrap a ministry he's got to think what he will do to the staff first before doing so. Definitely government can't sack them without any wrong doing. Failure to reassign them is a breach of contract while makes government subjective to legal suites! I know this government love paying judgment debts though.

Why is criticism such an issue for many Ghanians? Is it because early in our lives we thought and told not to criticize our teachers and what older people do? What is wrong with Simmons comment. Think about a director in I e of the key Ministries who was cleverly using an imprest for his lunch. He complained about this when he was moved to a less endowed Ministry and could not get the chance to live off the state. Many of you talking just don't know the waste in the public service.

OMG. What is this? If the writer himself refers to several ministries as “less significant” what is his rational behind blaming President Mahama for either eliminating them or consolidating them? When that vagabond Akuffo Addo came to power and created all sorts of ministries and additional regions, didn’t he realize that there won’t be money to fund them? What IMANI crooks ought to focus on is to help explain what benefits accrued to Ghanaians following the creation of more ministries under Akuffo Addo.

I think Bright is making constructive points here and I wish the Mahama government would respond by showing what went into the decisions to scrap some of the ministries. I would advise the government to commission studies from reputable think tanks to look into some of these things before such policies are drawn up. Then, more often than not, most of these programmes are born out of public sentiments and politicians respond ostensibly for economic reasons but the real motive is for party political gains.

Even if the savings from this can provide 1 borehole a month for a village, in 4 years we'll have produced 48 borehole for some suffering Ghanaians to have a decent water to drink. Is this not better than appointing 126 useless minister to waste our resources on V8, personal assistants, garden boys ect.

Bright should not be lampooned for drawing Mahama’s attention to go for the bigger cost cuts. GHANA RESET IS ABOUT BOLD CHANGES, not gradual piecemeal changes.

Scholar did you read point 10 of his article? He recognizes that one could still safe some money with what JM is proposing, but more can be saved by reforming the ticket ministries where there is iconic waste. It is because the waste provides informal extra income to those who benefit there is not much protest from within. It is this waste that pepple benefit from that is why the public sector continues to attract people who even claim they have businesses yet abandon the business and go and parasitical life off public finances. Intellectual laziness is a serious culture problem in Ghana. People just ate not taught how to think analytically. So the likes of Bright are so despised in Ghana. Part is the the poor quality education.

Bright Simons, even though you elevated yourself a bit above Kofi Bentil, you cannot escape blame for the current situation we find ourselves.
At least most of you witnessed the courage with which PAV Ansah rose to the occasion despite his challenges when JJ Rawlings was in those considered as dictator and undemocratic. We have seen you for what you are and will be measured by not what you say or write about now as a precautionary but will unfortunately be judged after a time.

Mahama is just playing populist politics and has nothing to offer. However, I am not very disappointed that the NPP lost because they became very arrogant and did not heed to advice. What I find striking is the audacity of NDC thugs thronging public institutions whiles the police look on as if they will be sacked if they intervene. The non-action of the police to act boldly reiterates my call to make it very difficult for the executive to control and dismiss the IGP or as a matter of fact ranks from DCOP. It’s an anarchy and Mahama issuing that subtle warning after weeks of mayhem by NDC thugs is unacceptable. It’s a shame and a disgrace.

I have always jumped at any commentary from Bright but this particular one is either written in haste or poorly thought through. If some ministries attract insignificant budgetary allocations,that's the more reason why they need to be scrapped since they are filled by staff. Reallocation of these staff, many of whom will likely be low level staff whose wages when combined dwarf those of the compensation of a single minister and deputy amounts to some savings. Many civil servants sit around, reducing the number of ministries open up room for rationalization of duties. It's good that the pundits are back but I look forward your usual quality policy commentaries, this one has bit circular argument

Are you saying public sentiments don't matter? When he cuts the ministries down, and other agencies down, then overall we make some savings. Little hear, little there, together makes the desired impact. For this criticism has no foundation! Please come again sir!
