A Former Regional Minister in Nana Akufo Addo’s government, Rockson Bukari has added his voice to the calls to the president to reshuffle his ministers. This would allow for newer people, with fresher ideas to come help solve the numerous challenges the country is facing.
Many Ghanaians have been calling on the president to sack some of his ministers and bring new hands with diverse expertise to take over. The latest was former president John Dramani Mahama who suggested to President Akufo-Addo to immediately dismiss the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta and others.
Speaking on Daybreak Upper East show on A1 radio, the NPP stalwart said the faces of some of the ministers bring annoyance to Ghanaians
He said “I will agree with people calling on His Excellency the president to shake up his government, I agree with them. There should be a shake-up. At least people should sit up because we have more years, so there should be a shake-up. Some people’s faces bring annoyance to people. He [the president] doesn’t see. When there is a shake-up, it will be good and Ghanaians will know that the elephant is doing good. There should be a shake-up so that we can break the eight”.
It would be recalled that the Member of Parliament for Talensi Constituency in the Upper East Region, Benson Tongo Baba has reasoned that the failure of President, Nana Akufo-Addo to reshuffle some of his ministers especially the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Food and Agriculture, is worrying.
He said putting one minister in an office for over 6 years does not only bring about inefficiency but also breeds corruption.
He said, “you know very well that man is not working yet you allow him to be there. Who does that? How can you put a person in one office for close to six years? Even various workplaces don’t do that.”
The MP who is on a working visit to his constituency made this known in an exclusive interview with A1 Radio at his residence.
