Pledge to Govern with 50 Ministers is a Great Move Franklin Cudjoe Applauds Bawumia

The President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe has lauded the flag bearer and leader of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for his dogged faith in working with only fifty ministers if he is voted into power come December 7, 2024.

Franklin Cudjoe stated that, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s intentions of governing the country with fifty ministers is a clear indication that the flag bearer of the ruling NPP means business.

Franklin Cudjoe’s comment comes on the wheels of the NPP’s manifesto launch which took place at the Assembly Hall of the Ghana Secondary Technical School(GSTS) in Takoradi on Sunday, August 18, where the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia reiterated his decision to decrease the number of his cabinet ministers drastically adding that, effective governance does not require a large number of ministers.

“I will have no more than 50 ministers in my government. My government will move towards leasing rather than outright purchase of goods such as vehicles, printing equipment, and so on.  The private sector will have the responsibility for maintaining the equipment. With this approach, the budget can save a very significant amount of outright cash expenditure annually from various items across the Ministries.”

Taking to his official Facebook page, Franklin Cudjoe posted, “DMB admits economic obstacles but falls short of acknowledging the role his government’s fiscal recklessness contributed to the atrophy."

“It is not true that unemployment rate was higher in 2016 than now. It is almost 4times; higher now.

“And Dumsor was solved by December 2016 so there was no need for it in 2024. His Flat Tax idea though will be impactful if implemented well. His pledge to govern with 50 ministers is a great move.”Kobina Darlington/
