Ransford Gyampo, a professor at the University of Ghana’s Political Science Department, has expressed concern about President Akufo-decision Addo’s not to reshuffle his appointees.
Gyampo said on Asaase’s Big Bulletin on Monday (8 August), “If you have the men, some are tired, some have been incompetent, and some are packing away.” Why don’t you reshuffle them and bring in new members? Fresh ideas, new perspectives, new energy, and so on. However, the president has the final say.”
“If the president believes they have performed admirably, well… after his tenure, we will be the best judges, we will assess him and determine whether he has performed admirably with his ministers or not,” he said.
Gyampo continued, “And so, if the president believes they are doing well and we believe they are not doing well, I believe the president’s position must be taken because he appointed them.” But, at the end of the day, we will conduct a thorough assessment of his government to determine whether or not his ministers assisted him.”
