“Ministers of State do not run their own ministries. They are appointed to the various ministries to be in-charge of a particular part of the ministry where they take instructions from the minister responsible for the entire ministry. The ministries have departments and agencies which is wholly overseen by the substantive ministers. It is the agencies and departments that the Ministers of State are mostly made to take charge of,”
- Mr. Kwabena Agyepong, Press Secretary to the President
