Over the past four years, President Nana Akuffo-Addo of Ghana has gained a kind of global popularity that is rare for an African leader.
I was 16 and living with a relative within walking distance from his Nima residence in Accra when I saw him speak on television. The year was 2007. Through the cacophony on Ghanaâs airwaves and the fog of a nation still in transition, Akufo-Addoâs voice cut through with a sense of purpose, clarity and assurance that made him very relatable and trustworthy.
I believe it is this quality, more than anything, that has allowed him to guide Ghana so ably during this pandemic. It has also endeared him to a global pan-African audience that has long yearned for an African leader who is both willing and able to defend the dignity and independence of the African people and countries. But there is more to Akuffo-Addo than that.

Appointing 85 Ministers, Still an Elephant Size government- Youth Activist

Constitutionalism demands a democratic process with laydown principles. Amongst which is the elected president to constitute his government. One subject that continues to take center stage in the size of government with an emphasis on the size of ministerial portfolios to be created.
It does appear, Ghana s 1992 constitutions have created a big void in terms of the number of ministerial positions to be created. This might have contributed to the elected president having the exclusive power and rights to determine the number of ministerial portfolios, number of ministers and deputies to have.
