Former Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Freddi Blay, is of the view that even though the reshuffle came in late, the new crop of ministers could cause a change.
He is of the view that it is better late than never. In an interview with TV3, Freddie Blay stated that, while earlier calls for a reshuffle were justified, the president provided a compelling reason why he was unable to reshuffle ministers earlier and that this reason should be respected.
“At the time, the President made it clear to his cabinet and some members of parliament that we were in the midst of an IMF program and that there was a need for continuity, and Ken, in his opinion, was doing quite well. He handled negotiations very well.
We have ten months before the general elections, and I agree with you. But change even at the last minute, even in a football game, could make a difference,” he said.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo announced a reshuffle of his ministers on Valentine’s Day. Some Ministers were shown the exit while others were sent to head new ministries.
