President John Dramani Mahama speaking during the swearing-in of his ministers
President John Dramani Mahama has assured Ghanaians that the National Democratic Congress-led government will be the leanest and most efficient in the history of the country.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of his first six ministers at the Jubilee House in Accra on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, he further announced that he would soon name deputy ministers for some of the ministries, bringing the total number to 60.
“So far, I’ve named 42 ministers of state and regional ministers to begin the urgent task of resetting our dear country Ghana, which has suffered in recent years from severe crisis in many sectors. As the ministers are approved by Parliament and as they are sworn in, I’ll proceed to name deputy ministers for some of the ministries which will bring the total ministers to 60, as I promised the people of Ghana.
“This will make this government Ghana’s leanest, and I believe, most efficient government ever in history. I’ve just sworn you in – the first six ministers, who are responsible for perhaps the most critical sectors of our national life, especially economy and the energy sector,” he noted.
