President Mahama has significantly reduced the number of political appointees at the Jubilee House by 124 compared to 2023 levels under the previous Akufo-Addo administration. Despite this reduction in personnel, the compensation bill for the presidency has increased by 148 percent. This substantial rise in costs, coupled with questions surrounding staff classifications, is drawing scrutiny. The publicly available data compares staffing numbers from 2023 to the current administration in 2025. Details regarding the specific reasons for the increased expenditure have not been fully disclosed. Observers are requesting further transparency regarding the new staff structure and associated financial implications. The discrepancy between reduced staff and increased costs is prompting calls for a detailed audit.
