The Bono Regional Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe aka Abronye says the 120 Ministers under President Nana Akufo-Addo’s government are far better than the 86 Ministers during former President Mahama’s regime.

According to him, it is better to have a large number of Ministers without receiving double salaries than to have a lean one receiving double salaries. 

Mr. Mahama, in 2019, challenged the fat size of Ministers under Akufo-Addo's administration saying “there can be no justification for some of the ministerial portfolios created by this administration.”

But Abronye DC is utterly surprised that John Mahama would complain about the number of Ministers in the current government.

“Mahama should stop telling President Akufo-Addo what to do because he was given the mantle and he did nothing. He should bow his head in shame and allow the President to keep on with his good works,” he said on UTV’s late News.  

Touting the achievements of the 120 Ministers of the current administration, he stated, “Now the 120 Ministers have brought ‘One District One Factory’ for Mahama to say he will continue when given the nod. The 120 Ministers have generated revenue for us to enjoy free electricity and water; the 120 Ministers have generated revenue to pay off  NHIS debt”.

“. . so between the 120 and the 88 who received double salary, which of them are more important?” he questioned.
