How can we appoint all Ghanaians as ministers of state as declared by a lecturer of KNUST. In that case who is going to supervise who. I don't know why some academicians will decide to talk like serial callers. I don't think even party foot soldiers at the local level will behave like this. Look, in countries where there are lean governments you will realize that governance is closer to the people. For instance, in federal republics like Germany, USA, Nigeria,etc, you will realize that a governor of a state has legislatures and secretaries/commissioners (ministers) at the state level to help them perform their mandate. This is not so with a centralized system like Ghana - especially when we have a very weak and ineffective civil and public service system. So with great challenges at hand, what do you expect the NPP government to do when the previous NDC government has increased Ghana's debt stock by 250% in just 8years. We need the expertise of these appointees to help us create wealth in order to be able to honour our monstrous obligations when they fall due.

There is no way Nana's administration is going to convince me that 110 ministers and Deputies are not exccessive for us.Even countries with economies 150 times bigger than ours and nuclear arsenal make do with a fifth of what Nana is proposing.I hope he trims it down or NDC rejects the unessential ones.We don't need 110 ministers to run the govenment of a 65billion dollar economy.

If Sulemana Braimah is unconvinced with the President's explanation, that's his problem. The President must stay focus to implement what he deems fit to fix the mess NDC has left the country.

If you allow an ill trained todler to attend to nature's call unsupervised you may be forced to use the whole T'roll afterwards.However in this case I don't think we needed as much T'roll or soap.Our economy needs to be restructured and retooled to leapfrog us to at least the 20th century and we need expert assistance not duplicated ministers.If we can take a chance to pay millions of dollars to foreign football coaches from countries who don't know the first thing about football why can't we bring in experts from those industrialized countries to help us restructure and retool our economy?

It's really unconscionable to see that many ministers in one government (110 big ones).
Suggestion: Since governments come and go, why not require the approval of these ministries and the number of deputy ministers by parliament? NOT just by using simple majority, because your party is in power, but by a commonsensical two thirds (2/3) majority approval of parliamentarians.
Regardless of the justifications, lame excuses and Kwaku Ananse/Intikuma explanations of the gargantuan number of ministers, IT IS NOT RIGH FOR A POOR COUNTRY LIKE GHANA to be paying for that. Nana, it has always been “Not the quantity but, heck, the damn QUALITY”!!
