President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has revealed that a total of 998 people work at the seat of government, the Jubilee House in Accra. He made the revelation in a list he presented to Parliament.
The number is some 320 staff more than the 678 employees presented to parliament by the erstwhile John Mahama administration in 2013.
According to the report released to Parliament on the staffing position of the Office of the President for the period January 7, 2017 to December 31, 2017, the office had nine Ministers of State, 27 presidential staffers, 256 Junior Political Appointees and 414 civil and public servants.
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.
Below is a breakdown of the list:
706 Employees of Public Sector Organisations
27 Presidential Staffers
256 Junior Appointees
9 Ministers of State

peacefm is not helping these ndc ple at all. always making them look very stup1?d bcos of their laziness to read for themselves. simple addition peacefm writers and editors could not do. well if u can not do it, cant u just copy and paste the grand total on the documents? or the copy and pasting is also becoming a problem now? my advice to my friends in the ndc is that they shd stop reading visiting peacefm bcos they are making them look stup1?d. they know what headlines will attract u and that is exactly what they have been doing. u guys have problem with reading and peacefm will not help u. do u like it when those who read always have to insult u first be4 telling u what is been said? ur problem is beyong God!
How can 28 more than Mahama's list of 678 become 998? is this lazy journalism, poor arithmetic or pure mischief? And of course Dr. Bawumia was right when he said NDC people do not read. They just swallow anything thrown at them and run with it. 678 + 28 = 706 not 998.
The facts on the list of Prez Staffers: The breakdown of staffers at the presidency was given as follows: 1. 9 ministers of state, 2. 27 presidential staffers, 3. 256 other/junior appointees which includes Staffers at the Veep, 1st and 2nd Ladies offices. Thus making the total number of staffers brought in by the Akufo Addo govt 292. The rest(706) are employees of public/civil service staff whose engagement predates the current government. The civil servants at the Presidency were not put there by the Prez. He doesn't recruit Civil Servants.
998 as compared to NDC 678. What is the cost involved? If 678 are receiving double salary as compared to 998 who receives normal monthly salary which is better. Double salary of 678times 2.
am not saddened by the number as we learning as a country under wicked people leading ***barred word*** democracy but ma worry is WHERE IS DR. KOFI KONADU APRAKU, am not questioning but am asking if someone may help me, hmmmm
No wonder your brain is full of sand. For the purpose of your argument, let say it's true, does that mean nana addo should do what he is doing. What is the essence of investigating past government officials, is it not because he wants to correct the wrongs of the past? So to make effort to protect public purse and at the same time inflated it makes you a complete hypocrite and deceitful being.
Name: Asa Thank Satan we have voted a wicked president who said he was going to protect the public purse but instead increasing it day after day with as much as 998 at the presidency, four deputies for each CEO he has appointed as well as appointing 110 ministers who are virtually doing nothing. Not forgetting appointment of owusu bempah on a board of GHANA cancer crusade, someone who has no experience whatsoever. It's nauseating that some of us thought Mahama was a mess, but today I have realized nana addo is not only a mess but extremely wicked. If he is giving the jobs to competent men, that wouldn't be a problem. But these people are cronies and gays and lesbians.
@cec you are 1diot
No one was taking double salary, nana is simply wicked.
678 taking double salaries = 1356 salariés each month . That’s far far far more than 998 !!!
