President John Mahama has announced that he will nominate the final batch of deputy ministers in the coming days, completing his ministerial appointments as promised.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of newly approved ministers at the Jubilee House on Friday, February 7, 2025, Mahama confirmed that he had already nominated 13 deputy ministers earlier this week, in consultation with the relevant sector ministers. These nominations are now awaiting approval from Parliament.
Mahama urged Parliament to expedite the vetting process, allowing the nominees to assume their positions promptly and support their respective ministers in delivering 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,” he said.
The President reiterated his commitment to a lean and efficient government, emphasizing that true efficiency relies on strategy, creativity, and hard work, rather than just reducing the size of government.
“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 told the newly sworn-in ministers.
