In his view, President Akufo-Addo, among others, does not need Senior Minister to be able to govern effectively.
“The Senior Minister, Minister of State in the Office of Senior Minister, Ministers for Procurement, Monitoring and Evaluation, Business Development, Special Initiatives, Aviation, Railway Development are all an unnecessary charge on the public purse”, Mr Mahama said.
