Minority Chief Whip Muntaka Mubarak has criticised President Nana Akufo-Addo for appointing 110 ministers and deputy ministers to his administration.
“It is just so shocking because, for the first time in the history of the 4th Republic, we are crossing the 90 [ministers] mark. Check President Rawlings’ ministers, check President Kufuor’s ministers, the late President Atta Mills’, President John Mahama’s; this is the biggest. It is so shameful that you will even have a Minister of State at the Office of the President who also has a deputy,” he said on Wednesday, March 15.
The president announced on that same day a list of 50 deputy ministers, bringing to 110 his ministers and deputy ministers.
The president has since taken some flak from a section of the Ghanaian public, with critics saying the size of his government will have a toll on the public purse.
The Asawase legislator added: “This is the most ridiculous – someone who is telling the whole country to tighten their belt. Look at the goods and services of more than 22 ministries put together. It is not even up to the goods and services of the government machinery. They are just adding on as if, with the greatest respect, it is some ‘chaskele’; you just keep passing. I think that is just unfortunate.”

Hon Muntaka you are too honest to expose Hon Ayariga on his bribery allegation.Therefore,don't worry about 110 ministers appointed.
Nana never promise lea. He rather promised one district one factory and their siblings. So that is what we are all looking foward to.
Keep complaining till u get tired but at least the cash wont be use for pampers and to marry 2nd wifes and build mansion at kumai booorban with asphalt road to the mansion
The point is NDC will struggle to make the numbers even if they wanted to, considering they would have to turn to SHS graduates and land guards to be deputy ministers
it's good that you see how incompetency you and your party are just with eight years that your came into power you manage to destroy everything you touch, and somebody has come to solve the problem with competent ministers you shouting Some of you who will survive to be clean from corruption to come back to Parliament I will advise you to study good governance from Nana Addo this man who has a team and they understand what they are doing even non-economist can read into their lay down plan. A word to a wise is enough.
We are not using the money to buy Pampers and Kyinkyinga
