The Minority Caucus in Parliament has accused the government of incompetence and poor coordination across key state institutions, arguing that the administration has struggled to effectively manage its ministries and agencies a year and a half into its tenure.
The criticism was made on the floor of Parliament on Wednesday, June 10, during discussions on governance, public sector management and the overall performance of the administration.
According to the Minority, internal disagreements and operational inefficiencies within government institutions have exposed weaknesses in leadership and coordination, with adverse consequences for public service delivery and national development.
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin contended that the administration appears to have lost control of critical sectors, including education and public sector recruitment, where he said institutional disagreements have hampered effective decision-making.
He argued that the situation points to broader governance challenges and reflects an inability by the government to effectively supervise its own structures and agencies.
“You cannot even recruit teachers who are qualified. It has become a fight between the Finance Ministry and the Education Ministry. This government is not in control of its own departments and agencies. In just one and a half years, you have lost control of the ship.
“We have heard some ministers have taken awards and are alleging certain things we don’t know about. This is a government that has lost control. It cannot even take care of its 189 MPs.”
The Minority’s remarks add to ongoing political debate over the government’s management of state institutions, public sector employment and the coordination of policy implementation across ministries and agencies.
