Former President John Agyekum Kufour has demanded that several Ministers in the current Akufo-Addo cabinet be reshuffled.
He advised President Akufo-Addo to rearrange some of the Ministers since doing so will introduce fresh perspectives to the cabinet.
This is something he consistently performed during his tenure, he stated in a conversation with the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) on Monday at his home in Peduase.
In the best interests of his government, according to Kufour, he once reshuffled individuals who made a big contribution to his presidential campaign.
“I didn’t reshuffle just for the frequency of it; no. The president’s role is like the coach; not just a team leader.
You have to know what your ministers are doing, whether they are being positive or whether they’re just being average when you expect more from them, and you should have the courage to say you don’t belong here, go there, or perhaps sit aside and that thing should not be seasonal; it should be continuous.”
President Akufo-Addo has resisted all calls to reshuffle some of his ministers and he has said that he is satisfied with their performances.
According to him, many of his appointees have discharged their duties excellently.
“Their output has been considerable, and that is what I look at.”
“If the output measures expectations, then I don’t have any strong reasons to heed the call,” he said.
