Former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central Constituency, Inusah Fuseini has described as uninspiring the style of appointment of ministers by President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo in his second term.
According to the former legislator, the president is interested in maintaining a large number of ministers from his first term who need not be maintained in his second term.
He said: “…the president has the intention to maintain about 80% of the ministers that he worked with in his first term, and that makes the appointment or the nomination of the ministers in the first place uninspiring.”
He doubted the capabilities of such ministers since to him, they don’t have anything good to offer the Ghanaian people this time around.
He said: “…you don’t see anything different that these ministers would come and do, because we have seen them work in the first term and their work has been uninspiring.”
President Akufo-Addo submitted to Parliament for approval, through the Speaker, Alban Bagbin, a list of names for appointment as ministers in his new government.
This list included the names of some 46 persons expected to fill the ministerial positions and support the president to fulfill his mandate in the next four years.
Although the president maintained many of the appointees from his previous term, a few notable ones did not make the cut this time around.
However, Mr. Fuseini speaking on Daybreak Upper East on A1radio said this is disappointing.
