In a recent statement, Deputy Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, John Kwakye Ofosu, addressed criticisms surrounding the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government’s size. He asserted that the forthcoming administration will be the smallest in Ghana's history, as part of a commitment to efficiency and cost-effectiveness in governance. Ofosu emphasized that this streamlined approach aims to reduce bureaucracy and improve service delivery for citizens. He dismissed claims that a smaller cabinet would hinder effective governance, arguing instead that it would foster greater accountability and enable ministers to focus more intently on their portfolios. The minister also highlighted the NDC's dedication to transparency, asserting that their leadership will prioritize the needs of Ghanaians over political expediency. As the nation approaches elections, this pledge reflects an effort to reassure voters about responsible management of resources while addressing public concerns regarding governmental size and efficiency. The NDC’s strategy signals a significant shift in how they intend to operate if elected back into power, aiming to set a new standard for future administrations in Ghana.
