Former President of Ghana and flagbearer of the National
Democratis Congress (NDC), John Dramni Mahama says it’s needless to have set up
the Business Development Ministry.
Akufo-Addo in his tenure has set up the Business Development
Ministry to promote the private sector in Ghana.
But speaking to a section of the media in a Facebook Livestream
event, the former President noted that it was needless setting up that
Ministry.
“I don’t think that you
need a Business Development Ministry to promote Private Sector Growth. We had
the Ministry of Trade that was handling aspects of it, Finance was handling
aspects of it and all that and I think that is sufficient.”
The flagbearer of the NDC indicated that he hasn’t seen anything
that the Business Development Ministry since it was set up has done to boost
the private sector.
He noted that he has said in the past that when he is voted back
into power, the Business Development Ministry will be closed that because it
falls under the umbrella of the one of the useless Ministries.
“I’ve already said that when I come I will close down some
Ministries I’ve categorized a useless. It is one of the Ministries under that
category and I will close it down if I come back to power.”
