President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says he will not reshuffle some of his best-performing Ministers just because their critics believe they have served for too long at their posts.
According to the President, he retained some of the Ministers from his term because they impressed him with their excellent performance and diligence in their sectors.
He argued that claims that he was not reshuffling Ministers because of favouritism were false because he had fired some Ministers in the past.
Stressing that there were many excellent Ministers in government, President Akufo-Addo said five of the Ministers he had confidence in were; the Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, Minister Of Trade And Industry, Alan Kyerematen; Minister of Roads and Highways, Minister Of Roads And Highways, Kwasi Amoako Atta; Minister Of Employment And Labour Relations, Ignatius Baffuor Awuah; and the Minister Of Food And Agriculture – Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto.
“Reshuffle, reshuffle, what is it? Is it that they (Ministers) are not performing or the output is not good enough, what is it that… Or is it that some people are looking to replace them or what, I don’t understand,” President Akufo-Addo said.
