“We will close down the Ministry of Sanitation to reduce expenditure” – Mahama

Former President John Mahama has stated that the Ministry of Sanitation is useless.

Hence, on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, at a special public lecture at the Wisconsin International University College in Accra, the leader of the main opposition National Democratic Congress declared that, should he win the December 2024 elections, he would do away with it.

“We will close down the Ministry of Sanitation; one, to reduce expenditure and two, I don’t see any use”, Mr Mahama told his audience.

According to him, “The country is dirtier than when there was no Ministry of Sanitation.”

“This country was cleaner when sanitation was under local government than as a standalone ministry,” he countered. “We want to reduce government expenditure, so we will close that ministry and return the sanitation schedule to local government.”

In addition to the Sanitation Ministry, Mr. Mahama stated that the ministries of transportation, aviation, and railroads are also targets of his cost-cutting and downsizing initiative.

“We are going to close them down and send them back to the Trasport Ministry”.

“We are going to combine Communications and Information again. So, we want to reduce the number of ministries,” he stated.

Former President John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has declared that, should he win this year’s elections, he will revive the Ghanaian economy.

He declared that a new era was beginning, one in which the economic problems will be addressed by the next NDC government.

“A new dawn is on the horizon, the next NDC government will work tirelessly to restore the economy to a sound footing,” On Wednesday, April 3, 2024, John Mahama stated in conversation with Wisconsin International University College students.

He also promised that, in contrast to the current situation, which has restricted the program to a small number of locations, the next NDC administration will simplify STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education across the nation.

He claims that in order to lessen the severe difficulties with the Free Senior High School program, he would build additional Community Day Senior High Schools in heavily crowded cities in synchronization with the implementation.

John Mahama emphasized the need of include a STEM component in all subjects, which is why he wants to standardize STEM education in all senior high schools in the nation.
