Franklin Cudjoe Urges Mahama to Include Public Sector Reforms Ministry in Cabinet
Policy analyst and IMANI Africa President, Franklin Cudjoe, has called on former President John Dramani Mahama to ensure that the Ministry of Public Sector Reforms is included as a cabinet-level ministry if he returns to power.
Cudjoe argues that making the ministry part of the cabinet will enable comprehensive and effective reforms aimed at enhancing productivity, accountability, and service delivery within Ghana’s public sector. He believes this move is essential for addressing systemic inefficiencies and improving governance.
Key Role in National Development
According to Cudjoe, an empowered Ministry of Public Sector Reforms will be better positioned to drive policies that promote efficiency, cut wasteful expenditure, and optimize government operations. He emphasized that robust reforms are crucial for economic growth and the successful implementation of national development strategies.
Mahama’s Governance Agenda
With Mahama positioning himself as a candidate focused on economic recovery and institutional reforms, the proposal to elevate the ministry’s status aligns with broader discussions on governance restructuring. Analysts suggest that prioritizing public sector reforms could help enhance investor confidence and improve service delivery.
Awaiting Mahama’s Response
As discussions on governance reforms gain traction, stakeholders await Mahama’s position on the proposal. The issue is expected to feature prominently in policy debates leading up to the 2024 elections, as calls for improved public sector efficiency continue to grow.b
