Former President John Agyekum Kufour has called for some Ministers to be reshuffled under the current Akufo-Addo administration.
He suggested that President Akufo-Addo reshuffle some Ministers because such practices bring new ideas to the government.
During an interview with the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) on Monday at his home in Peduase, he stated that this was something he did on a regular basis during his tenure.
Kufour stated that he reshuffled people who contributed significantly to his presidential campaign in the interest of his government at one point.
“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 cabinet ministers, claiming that he is pleased with their performance.
According to him, many of his appointees have performed admirably.
“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
