“I promise you a leaner government. We’ll have fewer ministers and cut government expenditure, and any savings that we make will be used to better the lives of our teachers and other national workers,” the then presidential candidate said on one of his engagements.
Ministries that have been revoked include the Ministry of Information, National Security, Railway Development, Sanitation and Water Resources, Parliamentary Affairs, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs and Public Enterprises.
