A Political Science Lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr Kwame Asah Asante has told President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo that although the plan to reshuffle his ministers and other appointees is a good idea, it is coming too late in the year.
The ministerial reshuffle is coming some then months before the general elections.
Speaking on the Ghana Tonight show on TV3 Tuesday February 13, Dr Asah-Asante said “If we are to have a reshuffle it is a fine idea, but it is coming at a very late period within the year. One would have expected the government to have reshuffled a long time until now but as the saying goes better late than never.
“Now, whoever is coming in needs to be able to double their efforts of coming in order to give the government effectively some breather for the election campaign.
“They have a lot ahead of them in terms of the way they need to fix things to win the confidence of the people because people are disenchanted, people are worried, means of livelihood are affected by the day and so there is a whole lot that government needs to fix if it wants to put its act together and be able to fight the campaign and more.”
Multiple reports have indicated that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is likely to announce changes to his appointees.
“This Tuesday afternoon witnessed several movements to the fourth floor of Jubilee House by ministers expected to be affected and other MPs expected to benefit from the ministerial changes,” the reports said.
