At the pace, President Akufo-Addo is going with his administration, he might set record for the wrong reasons, the National Organizer of the opposition NDC, Kofi Adams has said.
Adams feels several decisions taken by the President could be politically costly, especially his ‘elephant government’ that has come under serious criticisms for the past few days.
“At least the immediate past President distinguished himself with infrastructure development, in the areas of education, health, Aviation, and the massive Circle Interchange project which has made him popular. I believe that this current President also wants to set a record, but for the wrong reasons, either through plagiarism or record appointment of Ministers. That is what the President wants to set his record and this is not good for our economy. It is bad, unacceptable and must be stopped.”
President Akufo-Addo on Wednesday nominated 50 deputies and 4 others to serve as Ministers of State at the presidency and ministries.
This brings his total number of ministers to 110, the highest in Ghana’s Fourth Republic.
In a reaction to the criticisms of his “elephant size government” President Akufo-Addo said, the unprecedented problems confronting Ghana demand a large government to face them.
“I don’t believe that my government in the Fourth Republic has big numbers in view of the swollen challenges,” President Akufo-Addo said in an interview with the Daily Graphic.
“These are the background and the circumstances that were facing my government and the people of Ghana, hence they need a new paradigm shift to solve the problems.
“We have a problem and what is the best way? It is better to have men and women capable of serving the nation’s interests and to work to grow the economy…If I succeed, you will soon find out the brouhaha is nothing compared to the success.”
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, the National Organizer of the largest opposition NDC said the so called bold initiatives of the President, with which he based his large Ministerial appointments on must not be left to plunder the public purse, insisting that the political appointments are added cost to the tax payer.
“The first bold initiative I was expecting from him[Akufo-Addo], was to see him reduce drastically the size of his government. The justification for his action has been that ‘if I succeed, you will soon find out the brouhaha is nothing compared to the success’ what if you fail? Adams questioned.

Kofi Adams if you have the best brains to succeed in everything then I think you had the nice opportunity to work with that your brains to retain a sitting government which made you the campaign coordinator to retain the government and your party but what was the result after December 7th? The most unprecedented,the most humiliated and embarrassed defeat in the history of this country and you are not ashamed but talking? Did John Mahama employ you to be talking after his defeat or employed you to keep him in power? Disgraceful idi*t. Thank God all those talking for the ndc after their massive defeat are not making any sense to the electorates and they see them as bitter and confused lot who are just talking for their stomach and their selfish and greedy self. Ndc will never come back to power,even Koku Anyidoho has confirmed ndc is not ready he has justified the division in the ndc. A question by Nana Aba Anamoah : Koku, do you love President Mahama? Koku: I love Prof. Mills,Nana: do you love Mahama? Koku, I love Prof. Mills, Nana : Koku ,do you love Mahama? I love Mills, it's conditional and leadership rotates and it will rotate. Who is this Adamu talking for a party without a leader? Ndc will stay in opposition forever. Kofi Adams go to Togo and find work to do there.
Look at this Togolese thif talking... Tell us where you have got the money from to buy all those 5 cars you own. How much tax did you pay on your earnings? Kofi Adams is greedy, corrupt and a thif.
THIS MAN WANT TO MAKE HIMSELF POSSIBLE PERHAPS TO BECOME PRESIDENT. WHAT HE HAS GONE THROUGH IS ALLOWING HIM TO FEEL SO .FROM LOOK OF THINGS AND WHAT HE IS WRITING IN HERE . WHY NOT ? HIS PARTY CAN GIVE HIM A CHANCE MAY BE IT WOULD BE EASY FOR HIM .
Instead of you to have the faith that is more important than the fact, you are rather cursing us. Go and read Isaiah 49:24-26. Even though it seems impossible, the Owner is working through the president, and remember! If you own definition of success is to work hard and buy 4 cars then excuse me to say......you are the worse failure the world has ever produced.
Yes! It's not good governance and indeed not what majority of even npp supporters support the government to appoint 110 ministers including deputies but people like Kofi Adams should not speak for or on behalf of ndc. The people of Ghana know that he is corrupt and greedy. People like him and unfortunately Kwasi Pratt don't persuade anyone anymore to influence their thoughts.
WHO IS THIS MAN? IS HE CORRECT OR MAD? NO THIS MAN MUST BE SENT TO HOSPITAL FOR MENTAL CHUCK UP WITHOUT DELAY ELSE HE WILL BUTCHER SOME BODY ONE DAY
Shame !!!
Kofi Adams do you think wisely,Is Ghana in your hart,If so then,let Ghanaians knowS where you got huge money to buy such a cars,do you have your owen company?You don't ashame for yourself to come air .
This Kofi Adams is still talking. President Rawlings will wonder if he is the man he used to praise and indeed told the ndc delegates to vote for him to become their national organiser. Corrupt and greedy man. Keep quiet and enjoy your stolle*n money.
