“I can run a gov’t with 50 ministers rather than what we are doing today” – Bawumia

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, vice president and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has denied claims that the Akufo-Addo-led administration has spent recklessly, claiming that money has been wisely used for the long-term sake of the country.

In his remarks, Dr. Bawumia emphasized the administration’s dedication to responsible financial management during the 8th Ghana CEOs Summit in Accra.

“The networking of the hospitals you know, Ghana.gov all of these things have been spearheaded. So, the government is not uploading and spending upfront,” Dr. Bawumia said.

He cited the government’s deliberate investments in digital projects and vital infrastructure as examples of prudent spending.

Looking ahead, Dr. Bawumia outlined his vision for a more efficient government, proposing a reduction in the number of ministers to cut down on public expenditure.

“My view, as I have stated, is that let us bring down government expenditure between 3 to 5 percent. I believe that I can run a government with 50 ministers rather than what we are doing today,” Dr Bawumia stated.
