The government in Ghana
is on the back foot after President Nana Akufo-Addo nominated 110 ministers and
deputies, prompting an outcry from the opposition and others about the size of
the new administration.
BBC
News report continues:
The
disapproval being expressed by many Ghanaians on social media shows a growing
level of public dissent over the move.
Voters
rejected the previous government of President John Mahama, angry at the poor
management of public funds, perceived corruption and unfulfilled hopes over the
promise of oil wealth.
With the government hit by a decline in revenue due to a sluggish economy, there is little public appetite for spending even more money funding salaries, allowances and perks for those in public office.
