Member
of Parliament for Tema East, Titus Glover has called on the Presidency
to define the roles of Staffers at the Flagstaff House.
Speaking
on Oman FM, Titus Glover was alarmed at the number of Staffers around
President John Dramani Mahama and believed the numbers should have
helped him effectively steer the affairs of the country.
But to
him, the work of 678 plus Presidential staffers does not reflect the
true state of the economy, hence the lack of good governance by the
Mahama government.
As at December last year, the number of
Presidential staffers was pegged at 678 but the number has reportedly
hiked up to about 703.
The list of staffers include Ministers of
State at the Presidency, Senior Presidential advisers, Presidential
staffers, Presidential aides, persons working directly at the office of
the President, Gardeners, night watchmen and household staff.
The
list, which was presented on the floor of Parliament on Wednesday, also
includes Chief Directors, Staff from the Ghana Health Service,
Controller and Accountant General's Department, Chief of Staff,
Executive Secretary to the President and Secretary to Cabinet among
others.
Analyzing the tall list of people working at the
Presidency, Titus Glover sought to find out their respective duties
since in his view; the Presidential staffers appear to have failed to
execute their official duties effectively.
He cited the growing
lawns and other lapses at the Flagstaff House which he held could have
been avoided if indeed all the 703 staffers were on the floor
efficiently executing their task. |
