John Mahama, a former president, claimed that the Ministry of Sanitation is ineffective.
Thus, the leader of the main opposition National Democratic Congress declared on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, at a special public lecture at Wisconsin International University College in Accra that, should he win the December 2024 elections, he would do away with it.
“We will close down the Ministry of Sanitation; one, to reduce expenditure and two, I don’t see any use”, Mr Mahama said
The country is dirtier than when there was no Ministry of Sanitation.”
“Indeed”, “This country was cleaner when sanitation was under Local Government than as a standalone ministry and we will close that ministry and we will take the sanitation schedule back to Local Government because we want to reduce government expenditure.” he reiterated.
“We are going to close them down and send them back to the Trasport Ministry”.
“We are going to combine Communications and Information again. So, we want to reduce the number of ministries,” he added.
In addition to the Sanitation Ministry, Mr. Mahama stated that the ministries of transportation, aviation, and railroads are also targets of his cost-cutting and downsizing initiative.
