The Minister of State for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has debunked allegations that President John Dramani Mahama has appointed over 100 individuals as presidential staffers.https://chat.whatsapp.com/HPfqFbuSt7fA2MVV742k2V
According to him, the actual number stands at 30, significantly lower than under previous administrations.
His clarification comes in response to claims made by Samuel Abu Jinapor, the Member of Parliament for Damongo, who accused the president of failing to uphold his commitment to a lean government. Jinapor suggested that Mahama had exceeded the promised 60 ministers and had secretly appointed over 100 staffers at the presidency.
However, speaking at a press conference on Friday, March 7, 2025, Kwakye Ofosu dismissed these assertions, stating that every presidential staffer appointed had been publicly announced.
Everybody who has been appointed as a presidential staffer has been named in a statement signed by me. So, currently, there are 27 presidential staffers. All of them were publicly announced, unlike in the past when we only learned of them when the president submitted a list of presidential staff to Parliament,” he explained.
