Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has promised to run the leanest but most efficient government under the Fourth Republic by appointing not more than 60 Ministers and Deputy Ministers in our bid to cut down on government expenditure.
He said he would combine specific ministries and eliminate government agencies that duplicate each other.
Delivering at the NDC’s 2024 Manifesto Launch, Mr. Mahama said his government will decentralise recruitment into the security agencies and ensure that recruitments are done nationally as well, while abolishing the payment of ex-gratia and cutting out waste and ostentation in the government.
He said the Fourth Estate of the realm—the media—will also be given the conducive and collaborative atmosphere to operate as the fourth power that they ought to be without threats, harassment, and assassinations.
