Let's applaud the listening Akufo-Addo for reducing the size of Ministries — Afenyo Markin LISTEN JAN 23, 2021 Deputy Majority Leader, Afenyo Markin has asked Ghanaians to applaud President Akufo-Addo for trimming down the size of the ministries. He downplayed criticisms against President Akufo-Addo's nominees for ministerial appointments in his second term. Some have expressed reservations over the President’s latest ministerial appointments, arguing that most of the nominees were just recycled. There have also been concerns over the creation of the new Ministry of Public Enterprises which has been described as “a recipe for confusion.” Mr. Markin on Eyewitness News, however, described these concerns as unfounded.
