According to ex-President John Dramani Mahama, unlike President Akufo-Addo, he is committed to drastically reduce the number of ministers by reemerging some of the “unnecessary” ministries, for the avoidance of duplication and inefficiency. As I said, President Akufo-Addo, can disperse with more than 40 ministries and he will not make any difference with the lackluster performance”, he lashed out. Mr Mahama, described as regrettable, the abysmal performance of the Akufo-Addo government, saying though it has “Benefitted so much”, it has “Shown so little”. He went on to accuse President Akufo-Addo of presiding over a government that is intolerant of opposing views, intimidating and gradually introducing the “culture of silence” while ensuring the closure of opposition media stations. Aside additional senior secondary schools, Mr Mahama, further promised to build a new university in one of the six newly created regions with campuses in the rest, while making vocational and technical education free.
