President Akufo Addo is set to reshuffle his ministers in the near future, igniting a wave of discussions and expectations. Nana Kwabena Addo, a morning show host on RADIO1, recently interviewed Mr. Eric Obouba Eastern Regional Communication member, also known as “Green” from Abuakwa North, who shared his insights on the impending ministerial reshuffle.
Green expressed his concerns about the timing of the reshuffle, given that Ghana is in a critical stage and there are only 14 to 15 months left for President Akufo Addo’s term in office. He highlighted the challenge of introducing new policies after the reshuffle, as parliamentary approval is required for new ministerial appointments. This can disrupt the government’s ability to implement and adhere to new policies effectively.
Additionally, Green pointed out the perception that President Akufo Addo’s government is largely composed of his family and friends. He mentioned that while some individuals within the government may have valuable insights into the country’s development, their proposals may not always be considered. As an example, he cited Dr. Frimpong Boateng, who, while in government, may have had ideas that went unheeded, but now, outside of the government, has the opportunity to voice his opinions.
Green also drew attention to accusations of corruption within Nana Akufo Addo’s government. He referred to statements from individuals like Martin Amidu, the former Special Prosecutor, who asserted that the government had issues with corruption.
Regarding the potential reshuffle, Green speculated that “if it were to happen, the first person to leave power might be the vice president, who also serves as the chairman of the police council. He suggested that internal conflicts within the police authority might lead to the departure of the Inspector General of Police (IGP). Green further criticized the economic management of the government, highlighting inflation concerns and financial matters.”
In the context of the upcoming elections, Green emphasized the importance of voting for leaders who can guide Ghana towards a more prosperous future. He insinuated that the reshuffle might encompass not only the president but also the vice president and all ministers, opening the door for new leadership.
This discussion on Radio 1 FM sheds light on the mixed reactions and uncertainties surrounding the anticipated ministerial reshuffle and its potential implications for Ghana’s political landscape.
