National Chairman of the People's National Convention (PNC), Bernard Ambataayela Mornah, has described as ‘unfortunate’ the number of appointees President Akufo Addo has chosen for his administration.
President Nana Addo’s decision to appoint some 110 Ministers including deputies and regional ministers, has generated lots of controversies. Critics are concerned that it will have a negative impact on the public purse.
According to Mornah, the number of ministers chosen does not support Akufo Addo’s quest to protect the public purse.
“It is totally unfortunate; every Ghanaian is worried about the size of government. How can a president complaining of an empty public purse increase the number of appointees who will all get the benefits of an appointee when they assume office? I am troubled by this…I hope the president will realign some of the ministries for us to have value for money…”
Bernard Mornah was contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, Saturday.

For continuity, the NPP will stay in power for the next 40 years. Bawumia and Alan must have trained people to select from. Nana is builder a baward of versatile and good workers.
ITS A SHAME WHEN WE HEAR MORNAH, PRATT AND THE LIKE TALK LIKE THIS. DID I HEAR MORNAH ADVISING THE PRESIDENT TO RE-ALIGN SOME MINISTRIES. MORNAH IF YOU HAVE ANY WISDOM ON REALIGNMENT, PLEASE THE CPP FAMILY NEED IT MOST. FOR 24 YEARS CPP CANNOT REALIGN ITSELF. ITS A SHAME MORNAH.
WHY polticians are selfish, greedy & lack basic common sense. Someone who has never held a higher office before in Ghana, is offered minister of a Region then again offered minister of let say forestry. How smart are these leaders? 24 million population can't they pick another person to handle that portfolio? Mahama did that with Hannah Tetteh & Akuffo Addo too? I thought this time geniuses were governing said Ghanaians? It doesn't matter if you are die hard npp or ndc WRONG is WRONG. Until these politicians change the way they think, after 100 years they will still be matching in 100 degrees temperature. Absurd!!Kwaku Baako & co you guys are disturbing public peace because you do not see WRONG as WRONG.
