He suggested that ministries such as Education and Agriculture could be grouped under a broader ministry he termed "public services," to reduce the number of ministers the President-elect, John Dramani Mahama, would appoint. 

He explained that such restructuring would enhance efficiency and align with Mr Mahama’s pledge to run a smaller government. “Prior to the general elections, Mahama promised to run his government with less than 60 ministers to protect the public purse,” Mr Domelevo noted.  

He cited Côte d’Ivoire as an example, pointing out that the country operated with just 30 ministers. Neighbouring La Côte d’Ivoire is being run by 30 ministers, and Mr Domelevo said it was doable in Ghana. He added, “Fortunately, Mr Mahama has been there before, and he knows what exactly to do.”  

Condemnation of post-election looting  

Joining Domelevo on TV3’s programme was Mr Kojo Twum-Boafo, a former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Free Zones Board, who condemned reports of looting allegedly involving some National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters following the elections.  

Mr Twum-Boafo, however, argued that the blame could not entirely be placed on the NDC, as similar incidents occurred after the New Patriotic Party (NPP) won the 2016 elections. “The act could not be completely blamed on the party because the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) set the precedent after the 2016 general election,” he remarked.  

He further stated that there was no concrete evidence that all the perpetrators were NDC supporters. “It could not be proven that the perpetrators of the ill act were all NDC supporters,” he said.  

Mr Twum-Boafo also criticised Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for failing to act in his capacity as Chair of the Police Council. He accused Bawumia of “shirking his responsibility… by not ensuring that the perpetrators were arrested.”
