Ghana bans first class travels for its government officials

[Augusta]

John Mahama, Ghana’s President has imposed a ban on first-class travel for all government appointees as part of efforts to cut down public expenditure amid the country’s economic difficulties.

Speaking at the swearing-in of new ministers at the Jubilee House, Mr. Mahama said all non-essential travel would be prohibited, while the Chief of Staff must first clear any necessary trips.
He revealed that he has directed the Chief of Staff to formally notify all ministers and government officials about an immediate restriction on non-essential travel, which aims to cut government expenditures.

That's a really good one, let them also experience what others are experiencing as well. Maybe they might put in effort to improve things.

The thing is that they would make all of these fine laws and policies. But would they implement it? We have to see that.

I think the president is right about saving cost and reducing the cost of governance. Ghana is struggling and they need to cut down cost to build back the trust the populace have in them. One problem with most African countries is implementation.
