President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama has expressed confidence in his decision to downsize the number of ministers and deputy ministers.
According to the president, reducing the number of ministers and deputy ministers would reduce expenses, improve efficiency, and set a precedence for future administrations.
The president was delivering his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) at the Parliament House on Thursday, February 27, 2025.
“I consider the long-expressed sentiment of the Ghanaian people about the sheer size of previous administrations and the associated cost implications,” Mahama said.
“I trust that this reduction to 60 ministers and deputy ministers, including regional ministers, will set the stage for further reductions in future governments,” he added.
