Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, former Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) under the Akufo-Addo administration, has criticised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for overstaffing state agencies instead of creating new jobs.
In a Facebook post on Monday, December 1, Ofosu Nkansah argued that the NDC has been placing political appointees into existing agencies, leaving many offices overcrowded and under-resourced.
“NDC, instead of creating new jobs for their foot soldiers, have packed them like sardines in already full agencies. This has happened in almost every state agency, not just NHIA. Their ‘recruits’ can’t even get chairs to sit on,” he wrote.
The former NEIP CEO’s comments reflect ongoing concerns about the efficiency of public institutions and the government’s approach to job creation.
According to him, overstaffing not only strains office resources but also hinders the productivity and effectiveness of state agencies.
Ofosu Nkansah urged the government to focus on creating genuine employment opportunities rather than filling existing positions with political appointees. He emphasised that public agencies should be optimally staffed to serve citizens effectively, while new initiatives are needed to generate jobs for young Ghanaians.
His remarks contribute to the broader debate over governance and the management of state institutions under the current administration, particularly as the country prepares for the 2028 general elections.
