In March 2017, President Nana Addo Akufo-Addo Dankwa made headlines in local and international media for the size of his government, which sparked a wide range of criticism from citizens as well as Ghanaians living in outside the country.

"I am aware that people are concerned about the cost of this big government. The number of deputy ministers, 42 out of 50 are all parliamentarians. Indeed, if we convert them from ministers to ministers, the marginal cost of this transformation is minimal in terms of its impact on public finances.

"Of all 110 members, 65 to 70% of them all come from Parliament. Thus, the burden on the Treasury, which agitates the minds of people, will nowhere as serious as people think.

"… If our economic growth strategy succeeds in accelerating the growth rate of the economy, what you call the hubbub at the expense of appointing a large government will certainly be a hubbub.
