So you think with the many ministers under akuffo addo's administration, they were efficient?
In china and India with population of 1 billion plus each both countries do not have even more than 40 ministers but we a struggling country with a population of less than 40 million have so many ministers why ???
Tune the write up .,.. make the headlines damning cos they paid you....... We watch to see if the promise will be kept that all that matters.... Only time will tell what Ghanaians voted for at the polls
The 38.2% dey pain you waaaa
It should be possible to work with not more than 50 ministers if the main purpose of appointment is to work. How many secretaries do we have in the US? We already have a very well established civil service structure in place ...

I agree with you on the number of minsters. But comparing our system to the US is flawed. The US runs a federal systems with each state having a miniature government including state parliaments.
I am struggling to understand NPP debates, honestly. If Afenyo Markin is the main opposition leader, what kind of alternative ideas can he offer Ghanaians apart from criticising the government every opportunity he gets. NPP t ...

@3dem. Confusion!They are mezmirized!! Shitting in own pants. Others constipating, by Anopheles. Wanting to pull another ambush. FIASCO! As NPP barells run out of bullets, ORAL fire heats on. God bless "My Dear" Cecelia.
Who is this fool?
Filthy hypocrite. You the same fool will start shouts in that useless parliament that Mahama has failed in his promise to appoint 60 ministers. Idiot!!
Eeeeiii so did you and Dr. Bahamian meant well when you promised 50 ministers? God is exposing you, you are talking too much with little impact... it appears Mr. Afenyo, you want to be relevant in this parliament its turning ...

Where was Afenyo Markins when Bawumia promised he will use only 50 ministers? Why didn't he offer this advice to Bawumia?
Though his argument on the number of workers under the merged ministries remaining the same is an issu ...

Not necessarily as public and civil servants can be redeployed elsewhere, this will reduce the need to hire new staff in other areas of the public and civil service.
This is not your problem. Just continue to do your work as the Minority Leader in Parliament and allow the President to carry out his mandate.
In fact, micro minority ...... Lol
You mean mini micro minority with a pass mark of 38%? Npp is gone forever if even JDM appoints 137 ministers. Gbemelawo.
Afenyo, it is you look out. You don't even know what kicked your NPP out. Please learn a lesson for the next elections. Nonsense!
But Bawumia promised 50 erh .
Ah,was that promise too a lie?
Afenyo, please NPPs misrule has left indelible scar on the minds of Ghanaians so be measured in your utterances in order not incur the wrath of them; else your 83 seats shall reduce to 40 seats in 2028.
The empty noise is to ...

NPP should tell Afenyo. He is adding more injuries. He won his constituency and did not know the plight of Ghanaians. Some statements mean that NPP is not ready to change for consideration.
You have learnt nothing from your monumental defeat. What did your 123 sized government achieve?
Opposition for life
NPP wanted to scam Ghanaians with the 2024 election campaign messages?Bawumia promise 50 minister or am mistaken? So why all this that Afenyo Markin is doing?
That is their stock in trade; lying to power. Unfortunately, the lies were so sweet that Ghanaians could not read between the lines and were deceived. Never again.
yes he needs 200?????
Micro minority chair, you contributed significantly to what npp has now (83), learn to tone down. The Ghanaian voter has become very complex and discerning.
Your over dramatized actions are being watched and you making you ...

The NPP is not a micro minority but a NANO Minority. Afenyo-Markin did not want to sit in a minority seat because it was spiritual. Ghanaians listened and gave him a nano minority seat. The spirits are working on his brain, w ...

Evil Afenyo, what is your problem? You, and your akuffo addo' demonic government robbed and destroyed the nation. The people have given power to Mahama plus a historic parliamentary majority for him to fix YOUR mess. What's y ...

Afenyo stop fooling ok. Did you give this advice to Bawumiah when he promised to run just 50 ministers. Keep quiet and enjoy your opposition cos you are in no place to advise the president.
mahama has a lot of knowledgeable advisers. please keep your advice for your next flag bearer. your advice is not needed!!
NPP the criminals losers, mind your own business.
Why take advise from 38.2% party allow him to continue shouting on the floor of parliament after all that makes him relevant and be heard by his party npp
Someone doing the right thing to minimise ministers you are telling him to increase ministers to burden the country. I don’t understand this Npp people
If you had any good advise, you would have offered them to Nana Addo. Keep your wisdom to yourself. You are too loud, Afenyo Markin
This ewe fante guy I don't know what is wrong with him. What did we see when the NPP packed the ministries with numbers even creating non-existent positions, what did we get? Corruption galore and non performance. Please give ...

Ghana ceases to amaze me. Any talking cricket can still make noise even when killed......
Nonsense, must the work be done by only a minister?
Ghanaians have now seen it all, we have seen what 126 minister could not do. Minister, minister with all the emoluments for naught.
You were with Bawumia who was promising 50 ministers.
Afenyo-Markin, reason small because you are a lawyer. Is that what Dr. Bawumia and the NPP would have done because he also promised to work with a similar number? Ugly, useless, senseless, shameless, gormless, lawless, corrup ...

Afenyo is making his party unpopular. Didn't we see what happened during their tenure?

Stupid fooolish man.Idiots
No wonder Nana Addo appoint 120 ministers.
Stupid fool. What advice did you give to Jack Toronto when he was messing up with the economy.
How many ministers does to USA have. Mahama won't, there is too much waste
Mr micro minority leader, leave mahama alone
Shall they run their administration on you so? How well did you do with your one thousand ministers? Is it not better that we have fewer looters than you million Sakawa minsters?
Because Akufo Addo messed up Ghana economy badly doesnt mean that President JDM should also repeat the same mistakes, Hon MP Afenyo
In the government is serious it may need more Ministers. How can you work with 60 Ministers in this environment. The Ministers are not Machines.
Any good Minister should be able to read volumes of documents that come before ...

NDC promised respect n love, but not without recognising zanator the duaghter of part's founder. Why sideline
Your trap will not work. Shame onto you as a micro-minority leader. God punish you.
Foolish man..... gyimieeee SaaS. What did you do with your plenty ministers?
What does Afenyo Markin know about governance? Does he know that China with a population of 1.4 billion has only 26 ministries? Afenyo is too arrogant and he should shut up . Too much garbage is coming out from his mouth.
WHAT ARE THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND CHIEF DIRECTORS????
MINISTER IS ONLY A POLITICAL HEAD TO PROVIDE POLICY DIRECTIONS AND TAKE DECISIONS, THE CORE WORK IS DONE BY THE CIVIL SERVANTS.

This guy is stupid and foolish. Your party wasted our resources with 120 ministers and it will increase looting. What did you do rather than wrecked the nation.
Mumu, you think large negative numbers will make the work efficient? MAHAMA is working
U don't know why the Minority Leader is worried, is America has less ministers why can't we Ghana have 60? The NPP is just trying jealous JM will set a record and also govern better than them
The president should appoint even less than the 60 now . 50 can be great.
So how would your Dr. Bawumia have handled the 50 he promised ? Or like all NPP promises it was not meant to be fulfilled ?
HOW STUPID THEY ARE .......NPP DE3 GYIMII SAAAAAAA

Didn't your flagbearer said he will working with 50 ministers only? So why didn't you them what you are saying now. Stop the undue pressure and allow the President to work in peace.
So is this afenyi an mp? He deos not deserve to be called an honourble man
That is the reason why you are in opposition. I pray god you either lose your seat or your life, people like you don’t belong in ghana. I hope NPP realize this and put you at the back bench, anytime you open your mouth it†...

The fact that the npp couldn't and cannot do it, doesn't mean mahama cannot do it. Be in your lane and watch things unfold. Your respect for mahama will soar!!
But Bawumiah said he was to use 50 ministers if he had won, and you supported him,were you deceiving Ghanaians Papa Afenyo Markins
It's none of your business if the president says he'll appoint X numbers of messengers. What at all is wrong with NPP. Are you offering alternatives or become agents of NDC?
