The Minister of Information Mustapha Hamid has defended the huge size of President Akufo-Addo’s government, arguing numbers do not matter.

Mr. Hamid insisted the New Patriotic Party (NPP) never “promised a lean government” when it was in opposition, stressing the end result is what matters when constituting a government.

“Nowhere did we ever promise a lean government because in our view it is not the leanness or bigness of a government that determines its output or its ultimate performance,” the Information Minister said at a press conference Wednesday.

President Nana Akufo-Addo has appointed 110 ministers in total, making his government the biggest in the Fourth Republic. The previous NPP government led by former President John Kufuor had 88 ministers while the Mills administration that succeeded it had 69 ministerial appointees. The Mahama administration, however, had 78 ministerial appointments.

According to Hamid, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) administrations had smaller numbers, but failed the country compared to Kufuor’s era.

“We have had in the history of this country governments that are smaller that have landed this country in bigger debts and bigger mess than governments that have had bigger ministers,” Hamid emphasised.

He stressed: “Those who came subsequently after that created all the financial mess that we have on our hands and we are still dealing with… so I can purport to run a government with 10 ministers and still create avenue for them to loot our nation or to have a government that is bigger than that, but which has people of integrity who are on the job and doing the things that ought to be done. It is not about leanness or bigness but about results and deliverables.”

Below is a list of Nana Addo’s list of nominees for ministers of state and deputies

1. Minister of State at the Office of the – Hon Sarah Adwoa Safo

President – Public Procurement

2. Minister of State at the Office of the President – Hon. Brian Acheampong
