He explained that Joe Ghartey, the Minister nominee for Railways Development should try and raise funds for government to achieve that purpose.<\/p>\n
Franklin Cudjoe made comment about the announcement of 36 ministerial nominees named by President Nana Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n
The president\u2019s decision to create some new ministries and re-align others has\u00a0 been criticized by some Ghanaians.<\/p>\n
Railway ministry not necessary <\/strong><\/p>\n According to Franklin Cudjoe government ought to have merged some of the ministries instead of splitting them citing the transport, aviation and railways ministries as examples.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is not necessarily the number of people you appoint to an office that means that you are quite efficient. Railway for instance and aviation and transport and highways is completely superfluous for a country of this small land size,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Speaking on The Big Issue<\/strong> on Saturday Franklin Cudjoe said the issue with Ghana\u2019s railway sector is lack of money.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is a proposal on the table which we made to the Kufuor administration that instead of seeking public investment to be led by the state and its attendant procurement problems why won\u2019t you allow that whole cartage to be owned by different business groups so that you do a road show and allow mining companies and people who cart heavier goods to understand that they own a part of that whole railway sector because we\u2019ve been at it for too long.\u201d<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Godwin A.
