President John Mahama has announced that he will nominate the final group of deputy ministers in the coming days, fulfilling his pledge to complete his ministerial appointments.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of newly confirmed ministers at the Jubilee House on Friday, February 7, 2025, Mahama revealed that he had already nominated 13 deputy ministers earlier in the week, with their appointments now pending parliamentary approval.
He called on Parliament to expedite the vetting process to ensure the nominees can assume their roles promptly and effectively support their respective ministers in implementing government policies.
“In the coming days, I will nominate the last four deputy ministers, bringing the total number of ministers to 60, as I assured the people of Ghana,” Mahama stated.
The President also reiterated his commitment to a streamlined and efficient government, noting that efficiency goes beyond merely reducing the size of the administration. He emphasized that it requires careful strategy, creativity, and hard work.
“An efficient government will not build itself. It requires intentional effort and dedication. I, therefore, expect nothing but the very best from all of you,” Mahama said to the newly appointed ministers.
