  • The Constitutional Review Consultative Committee , which was tasked to review the 2011 report of the Constitution Review Committee has recommended that there should be an upper limit of ministers and deputy ministers a president can appoint.

The article from Graphic Online discusses a recommendation by the Constitutional Review Consultative Committee (CRCC) in Ghana to limit the number of ministers and deputy ministers to a maximum of 55. This suggestion aims to reduce the size of the government, thereby cutting down on public expenditure. The report, which was presented to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, also proposes that the President should appoint ministers from among Members of Parliament (MPs) to enhance parliamentary oversight and accountability. Additionally, the CRCC suggests that the President should not appoint more than 25% of ministers from outside Parliament. These recommendations are part of broader constitutional reforms intended to streamline government operations and improve governance efficiency.
