Mr. Gabriel Agambila, a respected opinion leader in the Diaspora, is appealing to President-elect John Dramani Mahama to reconsider his decision to limit ministerial appointments to sixty. Apexnewsgh reports
Mr. Agambila’s concern stems from the president-elect’s plans to implement a 24-hour economy, which he believes would require a more robust team.
According to Mr. Agambila, with 10 cabinet ministers and their deputies, the number of ministers would already be reduced to 40, and adding 16 regional ministers would further decrease the number to 24. Mr. Agambila questions how the finance ministry, for instance, could function effectively with fewer than three deputies.
During the 2024 campaign, President-elect Mahama hinted that some individuals were already positioning themselves for certain roles, which might come as a surprise to many. Mr. Agambila acknowledges that the president-elect faces enormous expectations, not only from the general public but also from party loyalists, with over 300 former appointees vying for positions.
Mr. Agambila’s understanding of a 24-hour economy, as perceived in the Diaspora where he lived most of his adult life, involves three shifts of workers operating within a 24-hour time frame.
He notes that the list of nominees is constantly changing, and he prays that the president-elect will make wise decisions to fulfill his promise of resetting the economy.
In light of these challenges, Mr. Agambila urges the public to temper their expectations and instead pray for the president-elect to make informed choices as a take the mantle of leadership from January 7.
