The Deputy Minister of Information, Pius Enam Hadzide says John Dramani Mahama must ‘wear his thinking cup’ on his recent challenge to President Nana Akufo-Addo to cut the size of his government.
He noted that the former President lacks exhaustive knowledge on governance despite ruling the country for years.
“Talk is cheap,” he said in an interview with NEAT FM’s 'Ghana Montie'.
According to Pius Hadzide, reducing government size is not necessarily the measure to drastic spending cuts by the government.
The remarks is in direct response to former President Mahama’s campaign for President Nana Akufo-Addo to decrease the number of his Ministers and deputy Ministers after shooting up the size of government to levels not seen in history before.
The number of Ministers serving under the Nana Akufo-Addo government jumped from 110 to 123 ministers in February 2019, following the appointment of ministers and deputy ministers to the six newly created regions.

SO MAHAMA WANTED THE GOVERNMENT TO LEAVE THE NEW CREATED REGIONS UNCORDINATED RIGHT. NO WONDER THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT INDEED LACKS EXHAUSTIVE KNOWLEDGE IN GOVERNANCE MEANWHILE HE HAS RULED THIS COUNTRY FOR YEARS. GOD SAVE US!!!
Talk is really cheap else criminals like Pius Enam wouldn't have been in ministerial position wasting poor taxpayers resources all in the name of salary and emoluments. I can understand him because if the government is to be downsized, he will surely be a casualty. Time will surely tell who is talking cheap
John mahama had 80 ministers but 27 collected double salary whereas Akufo Addo's collect only one salary so the good people of Ghana make yor calculations and you see John mahama had more ministers than Nana Addo and most had inflated contracts. This little mind is all that the ndc has and they tout themselves as coming back for what and on what message only God knows ! these are a group of people with no shame! ndc bring your policies,visions, clues, solutions, dreams and philosophy for Ghanaians to examine criticizing this government who listen to criticism and fix their wrongs will give you over 60 years to come back! John mahama thinks the fans he got from Homowo celebrants gives him a win but I'm surprised anyway but don't have a doubt about the enthusiasm those at Ga mashie gave him. Anytime ndc is in power they ban homowo and they feel good about it,when npp give them the chance to celebrate they invite ndc to enjoy with them and no problem but they shouldn't be that ungrateful all the time because ndc is not coming back any moment from now!Ghana is not a hamlet but a country with broad diversity so showing hate and enviness to one group is not good ! most Ghanaians understand and know ndc is not good for their country so showing support to such people who has nothing for the whole country make you nation wreckers, anti-Ghana and unpatriotic people !
I respect this guy a lot but sometimes he doesn't think outside the box. He should just give us the detail descriptions or duties of all these huge number of these so-called minister under NPP government
