The President stated that his appointees were living up to his expectations when speaking on Tamale’s North Star radio station.
While President Akufo-Addo said he evaluates the work of his ministers consistently, he feels “many of them for me have done outstanding work. Their output has been considerable, and that is what I look at.”
“If the output measures expectations, then I don’t have any strong reasons to heed the call,” President Akufo-Addo added.
The President also thinks requests for a rearrangement occasionally have hidden agendas.
“The calls come for all kinds of reasons; NDC wanting to destabilise the government is one. There are people who are also looking for jobs.”
The single ministerial shuffle that President Akufo-Addo made occurred in August of his first term.
Since then, in response to claims that his cabinet was overstaffed, he has changed a few of his ministers and removed a few portfolios.
Sarah Adwoa Safo’s appointment was recently cancelled by President Akufo-Addo as a result of her prolonged absence from work.
She served as the minister for social protection, children, and gender issues.
Lariba Zuweira Abudu, a member of parliament for Walewale, was chosen by President Akufo-Addo as her replacement.
Francisca Oteng Mensah, a legislator for Kwabre East, was also named by the President as the Deputy Minister-designate for Gender, Children, and Social Protection.
