36 persons have been nominated by Ghana’s President to take up various ministerial portfolios pending approval by parliament. President Nana Akufo-Addo is yet to name his deputy and regional ministers and the size of his ministers is expected to swell when he finally makes the announcement.
The number of persons to take up ministerial positions has angered the NDC'S Deputy Eastern Regional Organizer, Hackman Kabore, who claims the NPP’s promise to operate a lean government is a “liar”.
Speaking on ATV’s Kanawu show, the NDC stalwart noted that there is no way President Nana Akufo-Addo could protect the public purse with the number of ministers he intends to work with.
According to Mr. Kabore, all of President Nana Akufo-Addo’s predecessors worked with fewer ministers as compared to him.
“How can the president protect the public purse with the number of ministers he is planning to work it?” he quizzed.
He added that “Ex-president Kufour came with 31 ministers, Rawlings and Atta Mills came with 25, Mahama 24, but now we have 36 sector ministers under Nana Addo”.
He claimed that the increase in the number of ministers is an indication that President Nana Akufo-Addo is looking for an avenue to create job for the “small boys”.
“He has increased our expenditure …ministers work with land cruisers, budget, salaries – just quantify it in monetary terms. He has just created jobs for the boys”, Mr. Kabore said.

What happened to agenda 50 50? Where is your chairman who insulted his king and Nana Addo? You have now seen how your arrogance has disgraced your party in the eastern region. You lot should resigned from your positions with immediate effect.
What is lean about good Governance? NDC talks as if they still don't read. Does NPP manifesto talks about Lean Government? You see instead of these guys find work to do they will not do that but rather ran around radio stations and make unnecessary noise. Nana Addo is a Great Leader and will make sure He executes about 80% of his policies in the 1term and i know before he completes his 2nd term Ghana will be SOMETHING. Long Live Ghana And Long Live KEEA. We need the seat back in 2020.

FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE MY PEOPLE PERISH. INFACT STOP INSULTING YOUR OWN INTELLIGENCE. WHAT HAS THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT GOT TO DO WITH PROTECTION OF PUBLIC PURSE. IT SIMPLY MEANS THAT HE WILL NOT ALLOW THE STEALING SPREE WHICH HAPPENED UNDER YOUR GOVERNMENT.
Ei, what is this man saying? This ''cannot do''spirit is killing you poeple. Kindly find an antidote to cure it.
HOW MANY MINISTERS WERE IN JOHN MAHAMA'S GOVERNMENT?
This man is an enemy of john mahama because he is daring Nana Addo to prosecute ex-prez john mahama and the corrupt officials of the ndc. Soon the line would be drawn for you all
You guys talk too much too soon. Yes he has named 36 ministers as against your 25. It's to deal with his programs to salvage this nation from the destruction you left it in. Once he is not stealing like you guys additional ministries will not cost one hundredth what your corruption cost this nation. I thought all presidents had a 100 days hassle free period. Four years ago not even ministers were named. Let us give the president space to work.
