The president on Friday released a list of 998 staff working at the seat of government. The number is a huge jump from what was used by his predecessor John Mahama, about 678 appointees.

Out of the total 110 ministers and deputies appointed by the president last year, only nine were mentioned in the new list of 998 staff.
