Put Requisite People In The Right Places – Government Told

A political analyst Mr. Alex Emmanuel has added his voice to the call from Ghanaians to the government to reshuffle some of his ministers who are underperforming in his administration and put requisite people in the right places in his government to steer the affairs properly.

The political analyst made this known on Plan B FM’s morning show NKOSUONSEM when speaking to Ohene Addo.

He added that experts must be appointed to Man various positions in the country rather than appointing people with high certificates who are not experts or do not have any knowledge about where he or she has been positioned,

“for example Dr Matthew Opuku Prempeh as an energy minister is of no use for the country, he is a healthy expert which he supposed to have been appointed as health minister” he said.

Over the week Dr. Nana Ayew Afriyie, Member of Parliament for Effiduase Asokore in the Ashanti Region has called for President Nana Ado Dankwa Akufo-Addo to conduct a ministerial reshuffle.

The lawmaker cited the overwhelming thirst and request of the masses for his call stating that he believes that the call is in the right direction given prevailing economic conditions in the country.

In an interview with the media, Ayew Afriyie stressed that he believed that the President himself must have heard about the calls and that he should act on same.

“The government must justify that appointees are performing and that there is no need for a reshuffle…. Now I join them and that is the masses and that is what they are saying.

“If they are calling for a reshuffle, you have to do it. If I was the president, I will do a reshuffle because that is what the people are saying,” he stressed.

He also pointed out that in his first term, the president did not conduct a significant reshuffle of his government and there was no call for such back then as is the case now.

“It is not as if they are not aware of a call for reshuffle. I am sure that even the president himself knows and has heard about the calls for reshuffle. So, it has become topical and if the people are calling for it, I will do it,” he added.

He submitted that he believed the current economic conditions and the propaganda value that the opposition had achieved with it is at the heart of these calls.

Ayew Afriyie said he wouldn’t be surprised if a reshuffle is conducted soon adding that he will offer his views if contacted by the President on who should be moved.

“Let’s leave the President to decide on a reshuffle and I will be open to speaking about my choices on who should go if the President invites me to share my views,” he added.
