The Minister of Regional Reorganisation and Development, Dan Botwe, has slammed former President John Mahama for claiming that some ministries under the current administration are needless and a drain on the national purse.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mahama at a closed door meeting with some disappointed business owners and importers in his office last month e observed that some of the ministries were needless and a drain on the national kitty citing the office of the Senior Minister as an example.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Senior Minister, Minister of State in the Office of Vice President, Minister of State in the Office of Senior Minister, Ministers for Procurement, Monitoring and Evaluation, Business Development, Special Initiatives, Aviation, Railway Development are all an unnecessary charge on the public purse,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the comment, the former general secretary of the ruling party said: \u201cWhen the UK wanted to get out of the EU, they appointed a whole minister for that. In Ghana they would have said \u2018this is jut how to get of the EU why do you need a minister\u2019 but the UK didn\u2019t do that, they appointed a minister. So it\u2019s about the vision that you have.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid I hear a former President talk about that? It shows the limited vision he has, he doesn\u2019t get it. In the first place he couldn\u2019t do it. The people made representation to him he he couldn\u2019t do it. Because the capacity to visualize it and put in place mechanism to achieve it he he didn\u2019t have it so he couldn\u2019t do it. His own people\u00a0 made appeals to him, he was not bold enough to do it,\u201d he told the media.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo has justified the record number of appointees in his administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a problem and what is the best way? It is better to have men and women capable of serving the nation\u2019s interests and to work to grow the economy\u2026 If I succeed, you will soon find out that the brouhaha is nothing compared to the success,\u201d he told GTV.<\/p>\n
