Franklin Cudjoe of IMANI Africa has called on the President of Ghana to downsize his government or listen to his frustrated General Secretary and reshuffle his government.
According to him, some of the existing ministries add no value to the country and are just a drain on the meagre resources.
Therefore, it is imperative that such Ministries be scrapped.
To Franklin Cudjoe, money spent on these ministries could have been invested in other sectors of the economy in order to bring development.

“Nana President, l know you no dey biz me sef these days but please listen to your own frustrated party General Secretary and reduce and reshuffle your big daddy government so we can save some money to buy incubators for hospitals in Walewale,” he said in a rather broken language.
About downsizing government. Three years ago, the Senior Minister’s office was scrapped.The only slightly positive contribution the office made during its existence was editing the public sector reform policy the previous government prepared. Every other thing the office did was a needless drain of the public purse.
Since that rare move made by my friend, Nana Addo, nothing significant has been done to reduce the monstrous size of his current government, let alone replace ineffective ministers.
And yet, the Office of Government Machinery, where he resides continues to gobble up our meagre resources – it just got a 100% raise for its 2024 budget while imposing numerous home-wrecking taxes to fund the splurge.
