Admittedly, the size of the current government is big and sometimes, it becomes difficult to convince the ordinary voter to accept it because of the lifestyles of our Ministers and the expenditure on them, especially the ex-gratia.
Nonetheless, the president cannot be faulted constitutionally as there is no limit to such appointments.
But, looking at the nature of the NPP, I think you would all agree with me that, the party believes in doing big things for the country.
History tells us that, it is through the UGCC that brought the big idea of securing political independence for Ghanaians in the late 1940s.
Again, the symbol of the NPP is the elephant and everybody is aware that, the elephant is one of the biggest animals, if not the biggest in world.
Our programmes and policies as a party, have always been big - NHIA, free SHS, One District - One Factory etc.
We built the largest edifice - Jubilee House as the seat of the president, not forgetting the presidential jet.
We were the first party to present 17 aspirants and expanded the Electoral College.
Currently, we are the party with the largest following (nearly 6m) and handed the heaviest defeat (1.5m votes) to the NDC in 2016.
Therefore, as we are set to implement our "elephantic" programmes this year, let's not dwell too much on the size of the government. This is because the president has already given reasons as to why he did that: let's give him the benefit of the doubt. The sweetness of the pudding, they say, is in the eating.
The challenges facing this country are enormous, and it's my hope that the new Ministers won't rest on their oars, but work hard to justify their appointments.
Sitting afar, I would go for at least, 100 ministers, cut down their allowances, and demand high performance from them, but the president knows better than me.
Therefore, let's support the NPP to succeed because the worst of the NPP is the best of the NDC. Whilst we can assemble over 30 presidential materials within 30 minutes, the NDC is even struggling to choose just one leader for their party.
For the NPP, we stand for big ideas, programmes, and policies to improve the lives of Ghanaians significantly: we think big whilst others can't think far.
On this note, I expect every patriotic Ghanaian to lend his support the current government to succeed.
Join the winning team by being a citizen and not a spectator.
