Ghana’s President, John Mahama, has announced the dissolution of seven ministries as part of the country’s austerity measures under the International Monetary Fund (IMF) program. This move aims to streamline government operations and reduce public expenditure.
The decision reduces the number of ministries from 30 to 23, aligning with President Mahama’s commitment to creating a leaner, more efficient administration. The restructuring reflects the government’s focus on enhancing productivity and cutting down on bureaucratic excess.
This reorganisation is a critical component of Ghana’s broader efforts to stabilise its economy following a $3 billion bailout secured from the IMF in 2022. The bailout was essential to address the nation’s unsustainable debt levels and to combat the challenges of rising inflation and unemployment, paving the way for renewed economic growth and stability.
