Some People will be Disappointed but I can only Appoint 60 Ministers - Mahama
Accra, Ghana - 09 Jan, 2025 - Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his commitment to fulfilling campaign promises, despite the daunting task of selecting a lean team of ministers.
The president's remarks come as he navigates the complex process of appointing 60 ministers from a vast pool of applicants.
Speaking at the Presidential Dinner in Accra on Wednesday, January 8, Mahama emphasized the need for a capable team to deliver on campaign promises, learning from the mistakes of the previous administration to ensure a more effective and trusted government.
“I have hit the ground running,” he said.
“Today, I had several meetings with all our key, multilateral and bilateral partners to try to see how we can kick start things to make the lives of our people better, to look at issues to do with the economy and all that. And so I expect that all of us who would have a role to play would also be the same.”
“You wouldn’t want to be in my shoes when you’ve promised to appoint only 60 ministers, yet thousands of people are sending in their CVs.Then maybe some people will be disappointed,” he further remarked.
“The success of this administration will secure us another term, perhaps under a different leader. But we must get this right so that Ghanaians can continue to have confidence in us,” he added.
