The current Director-General of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) Eric Nana Agyemang-Prempeh has five deputies.<\/p>\n

They include, Deputy-General in charge of Operations, Deputy in charge of Finance and Administration, Deputy Technical, Deputy Monitoring, Evaluation and Transport and a Deputy in charge of Protocol and Relief and Reconstruction.<\/p>\n

This was revealed by one of his deputies, Abu Ramadan who crossed carpet from the People\u2019s National Convention (PNC) to the New Patriotic Party during the run-up to the 2016 general elections.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”RWEpQ4gx7eTOvJhuRU1XPYhyQm4EUV2L”]Mr. Ramadan is currently the Deputy-General of NADMO in charge of Operations.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Point Blank<\/strong> segment of Eyewitness News<\/strong> on Friday, Abu Ramadan rejected claims that the five deputies will put pressure on the public purse.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe five deputies won\u2019t make a difference neither will it change anything,\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n

110 Ministers <\/strong><\/p>\n

This comes on the back of a wave of bashing President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has received for appointing a total of 110 Ministers and their deputies.<\/p>\n

Many Ghanaians have complained that the supposed elephant sized Akufo-Addo\u2019s government will over burden the national purse but government officials have refuted such claims saying it is in the interest of the country.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ramadan also said he has not received an official vehicle adding that he uses his personal car.<\/p>\n

\"NADMO-Logo-2\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have official cars. I don\u2019t have an official driver, I pay my own driver,\u201d Abu Ramadan explained but affirmed that \u201cI have an office [at NADMO].\u201d<\/p>\n

He also argued the need for the many deputy roles saying they play diverse roles at NADMO.<\/p>\n

\u201cNADMO as we speak today, our staff is a little under 7,000. The job of NADMO is so enormous that it can\u2019t be put in the hands of a single person. Under NADMO alone we have more than 23 different units that work under NADMO. Anything you think of so long as it\u2019s disaster we have a unit in NADMO that takes care of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
