List reveals 957 people work at Presidency
- 12 Apr 2019 --
A list presented by the president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to Parliament reveals, 957 staff work at the Presidency.
The release of the list is in compliance with Section 11 of the Presidential Office Act, 1993 (Act 463), which requires the President to submit annually to Parliament, a report on the staffing position of the Office of the President.
The breakdown reveals 10 Ministers of State at the Presidency, 28 presidential staffers and 254 other junior political appointees, bringing the total number of political appointees to 292.
In all, 665 Civil and Public Sector employees work at the Jubilee House.
The current list shows a reduction in the figures presented for 2017, when 998 persons were listed as workers at the presidency. That list sparked public outrage.
