Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>A stalwart of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwadwo Okyere Mpiani, has joined the chorus of persons saying President Akufo-Addo\u2019s ministerial reshuffle will not make any impact on his government.<\/b><\/p>\n

The former Minister for Presidential Affairs and Chief of Staff under the erstwhile John Kufuor administration says the timing of the exercise is problematic considering the number of months left for the general elections.<\/p>\n

Despite admitting that the prerogative to make any changes rests with the President per his analysis of the performance of his appointees, Mr. Mpaini says the timing raises a lot of questions about the effectiveness of the reshuffle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have a reaction to the ministerial reshuffle because it is the President\u2019s prerogative. He works with the Ministers and the deputy ministers and he should be able to determine who is working well or otherwise.<\/p>\n

Reactions from the public suggest strong approval \u2013 Gabby congrats new Finance Minister Amin Adam<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think that eight months to an election will not have any effect on the direction of government. So I think the timing is the problem, otherwise, it is his prerogative to do a reshuffle as he sees fit,\u201d he said on Accra-based.<\/p>\n

He questioned how the newly appointed ministers are going to adapt to the complexities of their newly assigned offices, to effect the needed changes for the government.<\/p>\n

Ministerial reshuffle won\u2019t have any positive impact on Gov\u2019t \u2013 Prof Agyeman-Duah<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of these appointees are completely new. How are they going to learn and know what goes on in the ministries to enable them to direct the ministries as expected of them?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what do you want to achieve? It is too close to the election, and I don\u2019t believe they can effect any massive change,\u201d he expressed.<\/p>\n

The former Chief of Staff is the latest to critique the timing of the reshuffle saying it is too close to the elections.<\/p>\n

Minority describes cabinet reshuffle as \u2018injury time remix\u2019<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, February 14, 2024, President Akufo-Addo made his first significant ministerial reshuffle after assuming power in 2017.<\/p>\n

The changes affected 12 ministers, comprising 10 cabinet ministers and two regional ministers, including Finance and Health Ministers, Ken Ofori-Atta and Kwaku Agyeman Manu.<\/p>\n
