This has raised concerns in many quarters as regards the president’s quest to cut the cost of governance. Some months ago, the administration of the incumbent muted the idea of implementing the Orosanye report but we have seen an increase in appointments for special advisers and the Ministerial list, recently the president bloated the cabinet further in a reshuffle.
One wonders when the president will stop lending Favors to his cronies and reduce the size of government.
