To this end, he stated that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s office is 'totally redundant'.
“There will come a time when we will not even need a vice president because really what exactly does a Vice President do? There may come a time [that we don’t need that role]. It is totally redundant. I said so. He [Bawumia] has an office which is totally redundant. Even in America, what does the Vice president do? Even in the UK, what is a Vice Prime Minister? What is that?,” KKD quizzed in an interview with Accra-based Joy News on August 24.
There have been calls for a lean government in recent times owing to the country’s challenging financial times and its population.
People who have put forth such arguments have cited European countries that have a relatively low number of government officials but arguably deliver economic prosperity for their citizens.
It will be recalled that President Akufo-Addo’s government has also been widely criticized for the record-high number of ministers he has appointed.
