In response to criticism from the Minority in Parliament about the timing of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s ministerial reshuffle, Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh Dompreh has stated that the opposition’s worries are unfounded.
Ten months before the elections, the Minority had previously declared that it was too late for the president to reorganize the cabinet.
Annoh Dompreh, on the other hand, has downplayed these worries, stating that the president is free to rearrange his cabinet as he sees right.
Annoh Dompreh said, “The president has the power to reshuffle and he will reshuffle at the time he deems appropriate,” in an interview with GhanaWeb. You can argue that it’s too early or too late, but the president still holds the ultimate word in the matter.
He advised the Minority not to worry about the timing of cabinet changes, but to concentrate on providing constructive criticism and counsel to their party leadership.
Annoh Dompreh underlined, “The Minority is supposed to be a credible opposition party; your flagbearer was elected before Dr. Bawumia,” about the group’s function as an opposition party.
“A respectable substitute has been assembled by Dr. Bawumia. They ought to be advising their flagbearers that they shouldn’t worry about a reorganization. They ought to be encouraging their flagbearer to unveil his plan.
13 central and local government ministers have been relieved of their positions as a result of President Akufo-Addo’s recent announcement of a reorganization of his ministerial appointees.
The Ministers of Roads and Highways, Kwasi Amoako-Atta, and Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, were among those impacted.
