There has been calls by stakeholders on the need to expand the scope of governance to accommodate some party faithful who contributed to the emergence of the current administration.

Sources close to government House told THE BEAGLE NEWS that more names would soon be released.

Otu had also promised that he would run a small government because of paucity of funds but create an enabling economic environment to accommodate those that would not be in government to engage in various skills acquisition, small scale business and agriculture to earn a living rather than depending sole on government patronage.
