Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has pledged that his government will have a maximum of 50 Ministers and Deputy Ministers. Addressing the nation in Accra on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, to outline his vision and priorities for Ghana, Dr Bawumia said running an efficient system of governance will require fewer ministers.
According to him, his government will enhance the role of the private sector along with fiscal and administrative decentralization while improving how systems and institutions function.
This, he said, would lead to greater efficiency by cutting down waste and ensuring value for money in procurement.
“The move towards the private sector provision of many public services would create fiscal space of at least 3% of GDP.
“This represents a major paradigm shift. Additionally, an efficient system of governance will require even fewer ministers. Therefore I would have no more than 50 ministers and deputy ministers,’’ he added.
