Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Mr. Iddrisu Musah, a former Metropolitan Chief Executive of Tamale, has criticised the abolition of certain ministries as part of the Government\u2019s decision to operate a lean administration.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr. Iddrisu, commonly known as Musah Superior, described the scrapping of the National Security and Sanitation ministries as \u201cunnecessary and wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement shared with the Ghana News Agency, he argued that the affected ministries were \u201crelevant and critical\u201d to the nation\u2019s welfare.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese Ministries are relevant and critical.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe National Security Ministry particularly requires a cabinet level supervision to ensure that the security regime in the country delivers its mandate internally and externally without challenges to keep the nation and its citizen safe at all times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

President John Dramani Mahama, through the Civil Service (Ministries) Instrument, 2025 (E.I. 1), signed on January 9, 2025, reduced the number of ministries from 30 to 23.<\/p>\n

Among the key changes was the establishment of a new ministry dedicated to Youth Development and Empowerment.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Ministry of Local Government has been expanded to include Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, now known as the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs.<\/p>\n

Mr. Iddrisu denounced the creation of a dedicated Ministry for Youth Development, stating that such issues should be incorporated into the country\u2019s education and training curriculum, rather than having a separate ministry.<\/p>\n

\u201cA desk in the Presidency for youth development would have been more appropriate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdding agribusiness to the Ministry of Trade and Industry when there is a mother Ministry for Agriculture is not a coherent decision. A vibrant unit under the Agric Ministry could handle agribusiness,\u201d Mr Iddrisu added.<\/p>\n

Mr Iddrisu urged the Government to keep its promise to abolish some taxes including the e-levy, betting tax, and COVID-19 levy.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhanaians are anxiously looking forward for this policy to come to fruition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
