President John Dramani Mahama has announced a major change in Ghana's government structure by reducing the number of ministries from 30 to 23. This decision, made public on January 9, 2025, aims to improve public service delivery and cut down on government costs.
This move is part of Mahama's promise to streamline government operations. He believes that fewer ministries will lead to better accountability and efficiency. The President has a history of advocating for a leaner government to enhance governance.
As part of this restructuring, some ministries will be merged. This approach is designed to make the public sector more effective. The Civil Service Act gives the President the authority to make these changes to improve the efficiency of civil service.
This reduction in ministries could mark a significant turning point for Ghana, as it seeks to create a more effective and responsive government. The impact of this decision will be closely watched by citizens and political analysts alike.
