Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Director of Business Operations at Dalex Finance, Joe Jackson, has cast doubt on the significance of President Akufo-Addo\u2019s last-minute ministerial shake-up.<\/b><\/p>\n

He said the reshuffle does not seek to tackle the economic crisis facing the country.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the changes made by the President on Wednesday, February 14, the financial economist said, amongst other things, that \u201cit is not an economic performance reshuffle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an election shuffle, not a performance shuffle,\u201d the financial economist reiterated.<\/p>\n

The financial analyst also stressed that the changes made by the President make no difference as Ghanaians have made up their minds.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can reshuffle all you like; it makes no difference,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cPeople have made up their minds and their perceptions about this regime already.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Jackson, however, lauded the experience of the newly appointed Minister for Finance, Mohammed Amin Adam, as a first-class economist but wondered how successful he would be considering the timing.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody can doubt his credentials…is there enough time for him to make a difference? Is there enough time for him to put together pro-poor policies?\u201d he quizzed.<\/p>\n

In the early hours of Wednesday, February 14, 2024, President Akufo-Addo undertook the much-awaited ministerial reshuffle, ten months clear to the end of his tenure.<\/p>\n

While some ministers, like Ken Ofori-Atta, have been sacked, others, like Kojo Oppong Nkrumah and Francis Asenso Boakye, have been reassigned to other portfolios.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Arhin, \u201cThe President personally expressed his sincere appreciation directly to each of the Ministers and Deputy Ministers, who have exited government for their commitment, competence, dedication, and hard work in office, which helped in the realisation of the government\u2019s mandate to the Ghanaian people over the last seven (7) years, and wished each of them well in their future endeavours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party, in a statement dated February 14, applauded the President for what is described as a \u201cbold decision\u201d to reshuffle his ministers.<\/p>\n

The General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Frimpong Kodua, in his address at the party\u2019s annual Thanksgiving service held at the party headquarters, called on President Akuffo-Addo to bring on new faces.<\/p>\n

This, he said, is essential to propelling the NPP toward achieving its objectives.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are a minister, a CEO, or an MMDCE and you have not been reshuffled and you think you are tired, resign; don\u2019t sabotage the party.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kodua stressed the necessity of reforms inside the administration in his appeal to the President, saying, \u201cIt is time for some changes in the government so we get some new faces to continue. We believe that if we get new appointments, we will be able to retain power in the next election.\u201d<\/p>\n
