Imani Boss Calls on President to Dismiss 15 Ministers

The President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe has called on President Akufo-Addo to reduce the size of his ministerial positions from 111 to 15.

His suggestion comes after the manager of the English club Manchester United, Jose Mourinho was fired.

“Nana Addo, see Man U has fired Jose before the end of the year? Fire at least 15 and reduce ministerial numbers from 111 to 80,” Mr Cudjoe stated in a Facebook post on Tuesday, 18 December 2018, shortly after the announcement of Manchester United’s decision to part ways with Mourinho.

President Akufo-Addo on Thursday, 9 August announced his first reshuffle and added on to the initial number of ministers.

Two new ministerial portfolios – Minister of State at the Office of the Vice-President and Minister of State at the Office of the President – were added.

The president has been under criticism for appointing 110 ministers and was expected to use the reshuffle to drop some of his ministers but did not do so.
