    Former President John Dramani Mahama has pledged to stop paying ex-gratia and run a lean administration as part of his campaign to become the country’s next leader.

    He claims that his administration will limit the number of ministers and deputies to 60 so as to protect the public purse.

    President Mhaam declared during his campaign launch speech at the University of Health and Applied Sciences in Ho that his next administration will improve Ghana, consider the needs of Ghanaians, and clean up the mess left by the Akufo-Addo administration.

    “The payment of ex-gratia to members of the executive under article 71 will be scrapped,

    “Our present state and its effect on our people trouble me a lot,” lamented, adding “We will not run a government of slogans, instead we will run a government of action.”

    “I shall assemble and operate the leanest but most efficient government under our fourth republic. We will reduce, significantly, the size of the government. As I announced in my Ghana We Want address at UPSA late last year, I will form a government of less than sixty (60) ministers and deputy ministers of state.”

    “We must clean the Augean stables and rid them of the filth and corruption. The anti-corruption will be given unfettered space to do their work. The days of the infamous ‘clearing agent’ will be well and truly over. But to ensure efficiency and professionalism in this endeavour, institutions of the state would be empowered to be independent in their work. State-owned enterprises will not be a gravy train for political apparatchiks.”
