PPP National Chairman, Nana Ofori Owusu has asked the ruling government to "reduce the number of ministers to 14".

According to him, it does not make sense for government to increase taxes and put other measures in place while his government is still "oversized".

"They should reduce the number of Ministers to 14 and a total not greater than 35 including their deputies. You can't tell us that there is a problem yet you have a big government . . . you won't cut down your people but rather wants the citizen to suffer from a huge oversized govenrment," he said on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo'.

" . . stop pleasing party members and please Ghanaians. Taking these austere measures won't make sense when you have not reduced the size of government . . . Ghana is too small for all of these ministries to be there, Jubilee House staff should be cut down by 60 percent . . . " he added.
