Prof. Baffuor Agyemang-Duah, the chief executive of the Kufuor Foundation, has urged President Nana Addo Dankwa to fire three of his cabinet ministers.
He asserted that the Finance, Agriculture, and Health Ministers must all be dismissed by the President.
He contends that the Ministers of Health, Finance, and Agriculture ought to be removed from office, if for no one else.
He stated that there have been numerous requests for the resignation of Dr. Owusu Afriyie-Akoto, Ken Ofori-Atta, and Kwaku Agyemang-Manu, three ministers.
He claimed that for the previous six years, they had underperformed.
He said to JoyNews on Sunday, “If you put your ears to the ground, what we hear widely is the health sector implying the Minister of Health as well as the Minister of Agric, these two along the Finance are the main ones.”
The President was also tasked with rating the performance of his ministers by the former senior UN governance expert.
Prof. Agyemang-Duah claims that this will assist President Akufo-Addo make wise judgments that will transform his administration.
There are those Ministers about whom we hardly ever hear anything. You are unsure of their effectiveness. Additionally, some ministers have health difficulties and appear really exhausted when you first encounter them. You can’t tell if they are truly exhausted.
“So all these might be variables that I think the President can take into account if he wants to make a move,” he said.
In defense of himself, the President claimed that those advocating for the change were the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the unemployed, who wanted to undermine his administration.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has received numerous requests in the recent months to rearrange his cabinet.
The production of his ministers, according to Akufo-Addo, has been significant, and that is what he considers. On Monday, August 8, as part of his two-day trip of the Northern Region, he responded to a question on his opinions on proposals to reshuffle his ministers by saying these things on North Star Radio in Tamale.
