Shake-up in government looms as Akufo-Addo is set to announce ministerial reshuffle

According to information obtained by Joy News, President Nana Akufo-Addo is expected to announce a ministerial reorganization soon.

At the Jubilee House on Friday, February 9, a meeting was convened to decide on the names.

After months of popular clamor, the president is about to make some big adjustments to his ministerial appointments.

The previous cabinet shuffle occurred one month ago when former ministers of trade Alan Kyerematen and agriculture Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto left to concentrate on their respective electoral campaigns.

Sources suggest that the next shift will be wide-ranging and that it was subtly delayed to allow for the conclusion of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential and parliamentary primaries.

Sources claim that the primaries were held on January 27 to relieve the impacted ministers of the extra emotional burden of a possible loss as they assumed new duties.

After the results of the internal elections held by the ruling party, the reshuffle was moved from December to February to prevent any defeated candidates from blaming the president for their defeat.

As part of the system’s revitalization efforts, twenty-six Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) were replaced with twenty-four last week.

The move may demonstrate President Akufo-Addo’s consideration for the interests and goals of his ministers and serve as further evidence of his commitment to building an efficient and unified government.

All of the concerned ministries should benefit from these improvements, which should bring new insights, new knowledge, and increased efficiency.
