Ministers are either appointed or nominated. In the government of His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo-Addo, four extra ministers and fifty deputy ministers were appointed, which is not the usual.
The opposition party claimed it is a waste of the country’s resource but Nana Addo Dankwah says it was and is a good investment.
You my reader is free to judge whether it was good or a waste.
The extra ministers were not enough in 2017, so in February 2019, thirteen more ministers were appointed.
I know you are wondering what are the sum of appointed ministers in Ghana. The number of appointed ministers are now one hundred and twenty-three (123) If you want to know these ministers, read on.
