The head of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Percival Kofi Akpaloo, asserts that he would only need 19 ministers to rule the nation.
Kofi Akpalo believes that there are too many and duplicate ministers and ministries in the incumbentt administration.
For the second time in the history of the Fourth Republic, ministers and their staff outweigh the minority in Parliament.
The Akufo-Addo government had 110 ministers and deputy ministers, compared to 106 Minority members of Parliament, which upset Ghanaians.
Additionally, he believes that the Ministries of Communication, Roads and Transports, Gender and Social Protection, and Sanitation should all be eliminated.
“If I am voted as President, we will not have more than 19 ministers. I will merge most of the ministries as they can function as a subset of the major 19. A Ministry like the Lands and Natural Resources will be divided into two with the Lands bit going under Agricultural Ministry and the Natural Resources bit going under Energy Ministry,” he told Don Kwabena Prah on Happy98.9FM’s ‘Epa Hoa Daben’ political talk show.
