Kofi Akpaloo, the founder of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) and a potential presidential candidate in 2024, has stated that if elected, he would completely abolish the job of Regional Minister.
He concurs that it makes sense to select regional ministers to oversee daily operations while leaving mayors and district chief executives in charge.
He reiterated that the numerous ministers and ministries under the current administration are superfluous and redundant.
“When I am voted as President, I will make sure I abolish the appointment of Regional Ministers because it doesn’t make sense because you have District Chief Executives(DCE) and Mayors who are already discharging the duties in the region, this is duplication of roles, “Kofi Akpaloo exclusively told Kumasi-based Pure FM.
He said, “Ghana does not need regional ministers to aid government business because Ghana is a unitary state not federal so the MMDCEs can take care of the regions with the assistance of regional coordinators to channel information to the government through the local government ministry.”
